The phase identification of the powders, performed using x-ray diffraction, shows the presence of purity hexaferrite structure and absence of any secondary phase.

The room- temperature hysteresis loops of the powders, measured by using vibrating sample magnetometer, show that the specific saturation magnetization (σs) value continuously decreases while the coercivity (Hc) value increases with increasing x, and He reaches to 9759 Oe (1 Oe = 79.5775 A/m) at x = 2.0. According to the law of approach saturation, Hc value increases with increasing Al3+ ion content, which is attributed to the saturation magnetization (Ms) decreasing more rapidly than the magnetic anisotropy constant (Kl) obtained by numerical fitting of the hysteresis loops.
