Ca2+-Cu2+-Sn4+ co-doped M-type hexagonal barium ferrite for enhanced microwave absorption efficiency
摘要
With the development and use of the electronic and electrical equipment, solving electromagnetic pollution has become a top priority for human health. In this work, ternary co-doped (Ca2⁺, Cu2⁺, Sn4⁺) ions were incorporated into M-type hexagonal barium ferrite (Ba1-xCaxFe11.6Cu0.2Sn0.2O27), and the effects of varying Ca2⁺ doping levels on the crystal structure, surface morphology, and electromagnetic characteristics were thoroughly investigated. Structural characterizations confirms that Ca2+ substitutes Ba2+ sites, decreasing the grain size and lattice values while increasing the lattice strain. At x = 0.15, the Ba1-xCaxFe11.6Cu0.2Sn0.2O27 ferrite achieves the maximum value of saturation magnetization of 67.7 emu/g, the highest RLmin value of -44.2 dB@14.3 GHz and effective absorption bandwidth of 3.04 GHz, showing potential as an effective material for absorption applications.
