bariumferriiteihin

Bariumferriiteihin is not recognised as a mineral species or synthetic compound in major mineralogical databases. It does not appear in the IMA list of approved minerals, Mindat.org, or the Handbook of Mineralogy, and there is no published description providing a chemical formula, crystallography, or type locality for this name. The term may be a misspelling, a misreading, or a nonstandard designation used in a limited context, in which case its properties and identity cannot be established from available literature.

If the term is intended to indicate a barium-containing ferrite, the closest well-known material is barium ferrite, BaFe12O19, a hard ferrimagnetic oxide that adopts a magnetoplumbite-type structure and is widely used in permanent magnets and data storage. BaFe12O19 exhibits high magnetic anisotropy, high coercivity, and a relatively high Curie temperature. In ferrite chemistry, many barium-containing phases exist and may adopt magnetoplumbite, hexagonal, or perovskite-like frameworks, but the exact phase must be confirmed with crystallographic data and literature citations.

The etymology of the name would draw from barium and ferrite, but the suffix -ihin does not conform to standard mineral nomenclature and provides no reliable clue to its identity. See also: Barium ferrite; Magnetoplumbite; Ferrite. If you encounter the term in literature, verify the source and check for alternative spellings or context to determine whether it refers to BaFe12O19 or a different material.
