A New Method of Melting Ferromagnetic Semiconductors. BaFe18O27, a New Kind of Ferromagnetic Crystal with High Crystal Anisotropy

Abstract

IN recent years, ferromagnetic oxides have become of great interest for electrotechnical applications1,2. They are used in the form of polycrystalline sintered materials. In order to get a better insight into the properties of the material itself, without the additional influence of air pores, we started to prepare these oxides from the melt. Moreover, we hoped to grow from these melts single crystals large enough for magnetic measurements.
