ABSTRACT

Hexaferrites with nominal chemical formula of Sr2-yCayZn2-zCozFe28Ox (y = 0, 0.5; z = 0, 1, 2) were synthesized by a solid state reaction to investigate the phase evolution, magnetic behavior, and electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption properties. X ray diffraction revealed that the Sr2Co2Fe28Ox sample (y = 0, z = 2) calcined at 1300 °C formed a nearly single X type phase, whereas the Ca substituted samples (y = 0.5; z = 0, 1) exhibited dominant W type phases. The magnetic properties strongly depended on cation substitution and phase composition: the Sr1.5Ca0.5ZnCoFe28Ox sample (y = 0.5 and z = 1) showed the highest saturation magnetization (MS) of 75.7 emu/g and the lowest coercivity (HC) of 63 Oe. Microwave absorption analysis of epoxy (10 wt%) composites indicated excellent reflection loss (RL) performance with RLmin = –44.9 dB at 8.5 GHz (2.6 mm thickness) for Sr2Co2Fe28Ox and RLmin = –49.0 dB at 5.6 GHz (3.3 mm) for Sr1.5Ca0.5Zn2Fe28Ox. These results demonstrate that X and W type hexaferrite composites possess high permeability, and broadband EM wave absorption capabilities suitable for X band (8–12 GHz) absorber applications.
