Abstract The magnetic structure of the surface layer of single crystals of hexagonal ferrites of the type Sr-M (SrFe12O19) in which some iron ions are replaced by diamagnetic Al ions is investigated, in direct comparison with the magnetic structure in the bulk of the sample, by the method of simultaneous gamma, x-ray, and electron Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is found that under conditions of diamagnetic dilution of the magnetic lattice of hexagonal ferrites of the type Sr-M by Al ions, a layer ~200 nm thick in which the orientation of the magnetic moments is not collinear with the direction of the moments in the bulk of the sample is observed on the surface of SrFe10.2Al1.8O19 crystals. Thus a “transitional” surface layer has been observed on macroscopic ferromagnetic crystals.
