    Abstract

    Researchers reported the synthesis, nuclear/magnetic structure, and magnetic properties of a new polymorph of BaFe4O7 and of the new complex ferrite K0.22Ba0.89 Fe4O7 where successful replacement of barium by potassium had resulted in the synthesis of the first reported doped diferrite compound. These isostructural compositions crystallized in a new structure type, ordered magnetically well above room temperature, and were only the second and third reported diferrite compositions.
