Why is so much time spent on synthesis optimization?
ยท Synthesis of the barium ferrite system can be arduous. The structural asymmetry required for sufficient magnetization and the interfacial energy required to form nanoparticles makes synthesis procedures instrumental in shaping material properties. The presence of antiferromagnetic material in unoptimized systems takes away the magnetization longed for in choosing a more complex magnetic nanoparticle system. The synthesis, start to end, is key.
