Cr ion substituted barium hexaferrite BaFe12-2xCr2xO19 (x=0
1
2
3.5 and 4) has been studied by means of Mossbauer spectroscopy.Cr ions are not found to occupy 4f1 sites at all. For the distribution of Cr ions among 2a
4f2 and 12k sites
our data reveal a random occupation and do not show a remarkable preferential substitution.From Mossbauer spectra for x=4
Cr ions are observed entering 2b sites
but the number off Fe ions substituted by Cr ions in this site is very small.The Carie temperature of the material decreases almost linearly with x at a rate of about 50K/Cr atom.
