description

Abstract The present paper reviews for a series of fine-grained MxCoyFe(3−x−y)O4 spinel ferrites (M=Mn, Mo, Cu, V) which oxidize into mixed-valence defect ferrites, a systematic study of the correlation between the oxidation temperature and the variation of coercivity. An increase of the coercivity is observed as often as the oxidation reactions Fe2+→Fe3+ and Mn+→M(n+m)+ (1⩽m⩽3) occur. This enhancement of coercivity has been explained by stresses generated during each specific oxidation reaction. The well-known property of cobalt to strongly magnify the magnetostrictive effects has been used to support this interpretation.
