Influence of Ti substitution and sintering temperature on the dielectric and AC conductive properties of BaFe12O19 nanoferrites
摘要
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses significant challenges to the reliable performance of modern electronic systems, necessitating the development of efficient shielding and absorbing materials. In this study, perovskite-based titanium-doped barium ferrite BaFe(12−x)TixO19 (x = 0.35) nanomaterials were synthesized via the sol–gel method and sintered at 850 °C, 900 °C, and 950 °C. Studies on AC conductivity and dielectric properties of prepared samples at ambient temperature and 180 °C are being reported in this work. Enhanced AC conductivity and dielectric response at higher sintering temperatures were attributed to improved crystallinity and charge-transfer interactions within the material. Dielectric investigations are governed by space-charge relaxation, charge carrier hopping, and electronic polarization. The findings highlight the potential of Ti-doped barium ferrites as promising candidates for EMI shielding applications, offering tunable dielectric properties and improved frequency response suitable for next-generation optoelectronic and microwave devices.
