Abstract

The magnetic properties of a 50-to 2-nm-thick surface layer in hexagonal ferrite BaFe12O19 single crystals are investigated for the first time. Measurements are made on a conversion-electron Mössbauer spectrometer constructed on the basis of a unique ultrahigh-vacuum magnetostatic electron analyzer of the “orange” type. An analysis of the experimental Mössbauer spectra obtained from the surface layer of BaFe12O19 50-to 2-nm-thick single crystals reveals that (1) the spectral line widths are close to the natural widths of Mössbauer lines and neither changes nor a set of the values of effective magnetic fields, as well as a paramagnetic state of iron ions, could appear due to a defect such as the “surface,” and (2) the experimental spectra are best described only under the assumption that the surface of a hexaferrite BaFe12O19 single crystal contains a 2-nm-thick layer, in which the magnetic moments of iron ions are deflected through ∼20° from the crystallographic C axis along which the magnetic moments of ions located in the bulk of the crystal are oriented.
