Substituted barium hexaferrites, BaFe12-2xZnxTixO19 (0 <= x <= 2), have been synthesized by thermal decomposition of freeze-dried acetate precursors. Decomposition and phase formation were investigated by means of thermal analysis, XRD and IR spectroscopy. The initially amorphous decomposed precursor reacts to the substituted hexaferrite via a spinel-like maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) and Zn/Ti containing spinel ferrites. The synthesis method allows a decrease of the reaction temperature and time, necessary for producing a single phase hexaferrite. At relative low reaction temperatures, the substitution rate x shows remarkable differences at different iron sublattices. For x <= 0,8 this selective substitution results in an increase of magnetization as x grows.
