Complex permittivity, permeability, and microwave absorption of barium ferrite by citrate sol-gel process

BaFe12O19 hexaferrites were prepared by citrate sol-gel process. The formation temperature was much lower than that of the conventional ceramic method. The complex dielectric constant and complex permeability of hexaferrite-paraffin wax composites had been measured by the transmission/reflection coaxial line method in the range from 200 MHz to 6 GHz. The measurement results showed that both the complex dielectric constant and dielectric loss exhibited no significant variation with the measuring frequency increase. It also showed that the real part of permeability decreased as the frequency increasing for all samples, the resonance phenomena due to domain wall resonance was observed in ?' spectra, the calcining temperature strongly affects the microwave properties of BaFe12O19 ferrites, the higher the calcining temperature, the lower the resonance frequency.

Preparation and microwave hexaferrites by a sol-gel process

s Ba_4Zn_zCo_(2-z)Fe_(36)O_(60) hexaferrites with Z = 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, and0.0 were prepared by a citrate Sol-gel process. The complex dielectric constant and complexpermeability of hexaferrite-paraffin wax composites were measured in the range from 0.1 to 6.0 GHz.Measured results showed that both the complex dielectric constant and the dielectric loss exhibitedno significant change as the measuring frequency increasing except for the sample with Z = 0.0. Thereal part of permeability decreased with increasing frequency for all samples in the whole measuringfrequency range, and the natural resonance phenomena were observed in all μ″ spectrum but Co_2U.The results also indicate that the content of zinc closely affects the microwave properties ofBa_4Zn_zCo_(2-z)Fe_(36)O_(60) ferrites, and the greater the zinc content, the lower the naturalresonance frequency is.
