“…Lower sintering temperatures of 1150°C-1200°C, however, were sufficient for the production of Z-type hexaferrites using wet chemical methods [13,24,40,41]. e difficulty of obtaining a pure Z-type phase, and its tendency to coexist with other (M-, Y-, and W-type) hexaferrites and spinel phases, has led to adopting different modified synthesis routes, where synthesis of pure Co 2 Z hexaferrite was reported to be achieved at 1250°C sintering temperature [42,43]. Also, it was reported that a Z-type phase can be obtained using two-step solid-state reaction where precursor materials are initially sintered at temperatures between 980 and 1180°C, then ground, and again sintered at about 1230-1300°C [23,44].…”
