La-Co substituted barium hexaferrites with the chemical formula of Ba1-xLaxFe12-xCoxO19 (x?=?0.0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5), prepared by a conventional ceramic method, were systematically investigated by Raman spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The result manifests that all the compounds are crystallized in magnetoplumbite hexagonal structure. Trivalent cobalt ions prevailingly occupy the 2a, 4f1, and 12k sites. According to Néel model of collinear-spin ferrimagnetism, the molecular-field coefficients ωbf2, ωkf1, ωaf1, ωkf2, and ωbk of La-Co substituted barium hexaferrites have been calculated using the nonlinear fitting method, and the magnetic moment of five sublattices (2a, 2b, 4f1, 4f2, and 12k) versus temperature T has been also investigated. The fitting results are coincided well with the experimental data. Moreover, with the increase of La-Co substitution amount x, the molecular-field coefficients ωbf2 and ωaf1 decrease constantly, while the molecular-field coefficients ωkf1, ωkf2, and ωbk show a slight change.

Based on Neél's two-sublattice collinear model, the relationship between Curie temperature Tc and temperature characteristics of Brillouin function for NiCuZn ferrites has been studied by nonlinear fitting calculation method. According to the tetrahedral A sites and the octahedral B sites of spinel structure model which do not only contain Fe3+ but also some other multiple magnetic ions (Ni2+ and Cu2+), molecular-field coefficients ωaa, ωbb, and ωab=ωba have been calculated; furthermore, the ferrimagnetism and paramagnetism Curie temperature Tc calculation formula has been modified, respectively. The magnetic moment versus temperature T (below the Curie temperature Tc) and the reciprocal of paramagnetism magnetic susceptibility 1/vm versus temperature T (beyond the Curie temperature Tc) have been investigated, respectively. The values of the calculated ferrimagnetism Curie temperature are very close to the values of the testing Curie temperature, and with the same zinc content t, the values of paramagnetic Curie point are all bigger than that of ferrimagnetism Curie point. With regard to different zinc contents, the fitting results are coincided well with the experimental data. With the increasing of zinc content, ωaa increases constantly. However, ωab=ωba shows an opposite trend and ωaa is invariant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
