Structural, magnetic, and microwave absorption capabilities of Co2+ and Zr4+ doped Sr Ferrites for light-weight absorber applications
摘要
Electromagnetic pollution is a big challenge in today’s wireless technological environment. Microwave absorbers are designed to mitigate this problem. These are the materials that absorb electromagnetic radiation and mitigate its harmful effects on humans and electronic devices. Magnatoplumbite (M-type) hexaferrites with the molecular formula SrCoyZryFe12-2yO19 were developed utilizing the sol–gel synthesis technique for microwave absorber applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to investigate the structural purity of these synthesized hexaferrites. For the investigation on morphology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was done. An investigation on the magnetic characteristics was performed using different parameters like saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc), remanence (Mr), and anisotropy field (Ha). There is a reduction in coercivity from 5011 to 2688 Oe, with a decrease in
