Magnetic and microwave absorbing properties of M-type barium ferrite/graphene oxide composite microwave absorber

In order to improve the absorbing properties of M- type barium ferrite absorbing materials, M-type barium ferrite/graphene oxide composites with different graphene oxide contents were synthesized by the sol-gel autocombustion method. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, a scanning electronic microscopy （ SEM ）, a physical properties measurement system （PPMS-9）, and a vector network analyzer were used to analyze their structure, surface morphology, magnetic and absorbing properties, respectively. The results show that the absorbing band of the composite absorbing material is widened and the absorbing strength is increased compared with the pure M-type barium ferrite. The sample with the content of doped graphene oxide of 3% has the minimum reflectivity at 10 to 18 GHz frequencies. Hence, the doped graphene oxide effectively improves the absorbing properties of M-type barium ferrite.

Electromagnetic and microwave absorbing properties of W-type barium ferrite doped with Gd^(3+)

W-type barium ferrites doped with Gd^3＋,Ba1-xGdx（Zn0.3Co0.7）2Fe16O27（x = 0,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20）,were prepared by a sol-gel method.The effects of Gd^3＋ substitution on their microstructure,electromagnetic properties and microwave absorptive behavior were analyzed.The XRD patterns showed the single phase of W-type barium ferrite when x ≤ 0.15.Microwave electromagnetic properties of samples were studied at the frequency range from 2 GHz to 18 GHz using a network analyzer（Agilent 8722ET）.The complex permittivity ε（ε＇,ε＇＇） increased gradually when x ≤ 0.10,but it decreased as x = 0.15.The real permeability（μ＇） decreased with the increase of Gd^3＋ content,while the imaginary permeability（μ＇＇） increased when x ≤ 0.10.All these reasons were discussed using the electromagnetic theory.Furthermore,the ferrite-epoxy compound coating materials with 80 wt.% of Ba0.9Gd0.1（Zn0.3Co0.7）2Fe16O27 were prepared to measure the microwave absorbing properties.The maximum of reflection loss（RL） reached about-27 dB and RL was below-10 dB in the frequency range of 8-18 GHz when the thickness was 1.92 mm.

Effect of Al-substitution on phase formation and magnetic properties of barium hexaferrite synthesized with sol-gel auto-combustion method

Al-substituted barium ferrite powders were synthesized using the sol-gel auto-combustion method according to the molecular formula BaAlxFe12-xO19 （x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0）. Compared with non-substituted barium ferrite annealing at 1000 ℃, the vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM） measurement manifested that the optimum magnetic properties formation temperature of Al-substituted barium ferrite was 1 100 ℃. The data from X-ray diffractometer （XRD） showed that with increasing x, the lattice constants （a and c） decreased as well as the unit-cell volume Vcell. Magnetic measurement of non-substituted and Al-substituted powders annealed from 900 ℃ to 1 200 ℃ exhibited that the maximum magnetization M （10 kOe）, the remanent magnetization Mr and the coercivity Hc depended strongly on the chemical composition of powder as well as the annealing temperature. When annealing at 1 100 ℃, BaAl0.5Fe11.5O19 of high coercivity Hc （6584 Oe） was produced. Meanwhile, M （10 kOe） and Mr were 42.83 emu/g and 25.65 emu/g, respectively.

Comparison of the Sol-gel Method with the Coprecipitation Technique for Preparation of Hexagonal Barium Ferrite

Hexagonal barium ferrite BaFe12O19 particles were prepared by sol-gel and coprecipitation methods, respectively. The composition of the so-obtained materials was investigated by means of XRD. By the sol-gel method, non-anticipated intermediate crystalline phases, such as γ-Fe2O3, α-Fe2O3, BaCO3, and BaFe2O4 etc., were formed with the delay of the formation of BaFe12O19. The formation of single phase BaFe12O19 required calcination at 850 oC for 4 h. On the other hand, using coprecipitation technique, amorphous hydroxide precursor was directly transferred into BaFe12O19 almost without the formation of intermediate crystalline phases. BaFe12O19 was prepared by calcining at 700 oC for 3 h. The results were confirmed by ESEM and VSM analyses. Based on the already reported results and the observed results in this study, it can be concluded that the coprecipitaion technique is easier to control than the sol-gel method for preparation of BaFe12O19 at a low temperature.

Texture and self-biased property of an oriented M-type barium ferrite thick film by tape casting

In this paper, the oriented M-type barium ferrite （BaM） thick films with different thicknesses are prepared by tape casting. It is found that the crystallographic alignment degree （f）, the pore and the squareness ratio （Mr/Ms） are not affected by the thickness of the film. XRD and SEM results show that the thick film has hexagonal morphology with a crystal texture of c-axis grains perpendicular to film plane. The hysteresis curve indicates that the BaM thick film exhibits a self-biased property with a remanent magnetization of 3.30 T, a squareness ratio （Mr/Ms） of 0.81, and a coercivity of 0.40 T. The results show that the BaM thick film has potential for use in self-biasing microwave devices, and also proves that the tape casting technique is capable of fabricating high-quality barium ferrite films, thus providing a unique opportunity to realize the large area production of thick film.

Factors of Impacting the Coprecipitation Process for Synthesizing CoTi-substitued Barium M-type Ferrite Ultrafine Powder

The effect of pH values on synthesizing single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19, was investigated employing corrosion versus pH plot (E-pH plot) for metal element, thermodynamic calculation, and co-dump coprecipitation. The pH values of complete coprecipitation of all Fe 3+, Ti 4+, Co 2+ and Ba 2+ cations are 9-12 and higher than 7.9 on the basis of E-pH plot analysis and thermodynamic calculation, respectively. The minimum pH value necessary to the formation of single-phase BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19 is 8.5 in the light of the co-dump coprecipitation.These results indicate that the coprecipitation process for synthesizing CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders is simultaneously influenced by synergetic coprecipation effect of cations and coordination effect of Cl-anions. The test time of the minimum pH value corresponding to forming a series of single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCo-xTi-xFe- 12-2xO- 19, may be significantly reduced by using the effects of two new factors on the coprecipitation process.

Morphology observation of the fibers was given on SEM, and the diameter of the obtained fibers was between 5 and 10 um corresponding to different additives. The additives affected the surface tension of the precursor sol which had close relation to the microstructure of fibers. Sucrose and hydroxyethylic cellulose could improve the surface tension while diethanolamine and hexadecylamine reduce that of the decylamine as an additive, well-structured BaFe12O19 precursor sol. And using diethanolamine or hexafibers could be obtained.

Achieving Ultra-Broad Microwave Absorption Bandwidth Around Millimeter-Wave Atmospheric Window Through an Intentional Manipulation on Multi-Magnetic Resonance Behavior

The utilization of electromagnetic waves is rapidly advancing into the millimeter-wave frequency range,posing increasingly severe challenges in terms of electromagnetic pollution prevention and radar stealth.However,existing millimeter-wave absorbers are still inadequate in addressing these issues due to their monotonous magnetic resonance pattern.In this work,rare-earth La^(3+)and non-magnetic Zr^(4+)ions are simultaneously incorporated into M-type barium ferrite(BaM)to intentionally manipulate the multi-magnetic resonance behavior.By leveraging the contrary impact of La^(3+)and Zr^(4+)ions on magnetocrystalline anisotropy field,the restrictive relationship between intensity and frequency of the multi-magnetic resonance is successfully eliminated.The magnetic resonance peak-differentiating and imitating results confirm that significant multi-magnetic resonance phenomenon emerges around 35 GHz due to the reinforced exchange coupling effect between Fe^(3+)and Fe^(2+)ions.Additionally,Mosbauer spectra analysis,first-principle calculations,and least square fitting collectively identify that additional La^(3+)doping leads to a profound rearrangement of Zr^(4+)occupation and thus makes the portion of polarization/conduction loss increase gradually.As a consequence,the La^(3+)-Zr^(4+)co-doped BaM achieves an ultra-broad bandwidth of 12.5+GHz covering from 27.5 to 40+GHz,which holds remarkable potential for millimeter-wave absorbers around the atmospheric window of 35 GHz.
