In this research Sr -hexaferrite powder was synthesized by a sol–gel auto-combustion route using two different fuels (glycine and citric acid) and two different basic agents (ammonia and trimethylamine). N -decyltrimethylammonium bromide ( C 13 H 30 BrN ) was also employed as a cationic surfactant. The results showed the finest crystallite size and the lowest calcination temperature have been obtained as 27.2 nm and 800 °C respectively, in the presence of citric acid, trimethylamine and surfactant.
