Measurements of the anisotropy distribution in BaFe12O19were carried out using the remanent torque technique. Two randomly oriented powder samples with coercive forces of 1500 and 4000 oe were tested. The remanent torque curves for both samples were essentially identical indicating an anisotropy distribution with an average of 2.1±0.2×106ergs/cm3compared with a value of 3.3×106ergs/cm3for single crystal BaFe12O19. The origin of this disagreement is unclear but it seems to be associated with splitting into domains.
