“…which is identified to be one of the potential candidates for a lot of technologically important applications such as microwave devices, spintronics, isolators, circulators and phase shifters, magnetic recording, radar-absorbent materials, permanent magnets, credit cards, etc. [27,28]. Based on the available literature reports of the title ferrite NPs, it could be noted that several polymorphic phases of the barium ferrites have been identified such as BaFe 2 O 4 (Orthorhombic-Cmc2 1 ), Ba 2 Fe 2 O 5 (monoclinic), BaFe 6 O 11 , Ba 3 Fe 2 O 6 (cubic), Ba 7 Fe 4 O 13 (cubic) and BaFe 12 O 19 (hexagonal-P6 3 /mmc) [28].…”
