Abstract
Sr1−x Ho x (ZnZr)0.5Fe11O19 (x = 0.03, 0.06 and 0.09) hexaferrite nanocrystallites of average sizes in the range of 46–60 nm are synthesized by the citrate sol–gel method. Crystalline structure, morphology, magnetic properties, and microwave absorption properties of powders were studied via X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope vibrating sample magnetometer, and vector network analyzer, respectively. The magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization (M s ) and coercivity (H c ) were calculated from hysteresis loops. The XRD patterns show that the main phase is M-type strontium hexaferrite without other impurity phases. Microwave absorption properties of hexaferrite (70 wt%)–acrylic resin (30 wt%) composites were measured by the standing-wave-ratio (SWR) method in the range from 12 to 20 GHz. Results showed that substitution of Ho3+ ions for Sr2+ ions in Sr(ZnZr)0.5Fe11O19 resonance frequency moves to higher frequency. For samples with x = 0.03, a minimum reflection loss of −42 dB was obtained at 16.6 GHz for a layer of 1.7 mm in thickness. It was concluded that the prepared composites could be good candidates for electromagnetic compatibility and other practical applications at high frequency.
