X-ray powder diffraction is used to determine the unit cell parameters and to refine the crystal structure of the solid solutions of M-type hexagonal barium ferrite BaFe{sub 12–x}Ga{sub x}O{sub 19} (x = 0.1–1.2) with isostructural diamagnetic cation Ga{sup 3+} substitution at T = 300 K. As the level of substitution increases, the unit cell parameters are shown to decrease monotonically. The temperature (300 K ≤ T ≤ 750 K, H = 8.6 kOe) and field (T = 300 K,–20 kOe ≤ H ≤ 20 kOe) dependences of the saturation magnetization of these solid solutions are studied with a vibrating-sample magnetometer. The concentration dependences of the Curie temperature T{sub C}, the specific spontaneous magnetization, and the coercive force are plotted. The magnetic parameters are found to decrease with increasing substitution. The microwave properties of the solid solutions are analyzed in an external magnetic field (0 ≤ H ≤ 4 kOe). As the cation Ga{sup 3+} concentration increases from x = 0.1 to 0.6, the natural ferromagnetic resonance (NFMR) frequency decreases; as the concentration increases further to x = 1.2, this frequency again increases. As the cation Ga{sup 3+} concentration increases, the NFMR line width increases, which indicates a widening of the frequency range where electromagnetic radiation is intensely absorbed. Here, the resonance curve peak amplitude changes insignificantly. The shift of the NFMR frequency in an applied magnetic field is more pronounced for samples with low cation Ga{sup 3+} concentrations. The role of diamagnetic substitution is revealed, and the prospects and advantages of Ga-substituted beryllium hexaferrite as the material absorbing high-frequency electromagnetic radiation are demonstrated.
