Abstract

High magnetostriction (λ) and coupling coefficient (dλ/dH) of 315 ppm and 1.97×10−9 A−1m, respectively, are obtained at room temperature for sintered cobalt ferrite derived from nanocrystalline powders. Also, the powder was compacted at a low pressure of 8 MPa and sintered for a short duration of 10 min at 1450 °C. Magnetic annealing at 300 °C in a field of 0.5 T for 30 min further enhanced the magnetostriction coefficient to 345 ppm with a higher coupling coefficient 2.12×10−9 A−1m. The magnetic field above which maximum magnetostriction is observed is reduced by almost half after magnetic annealing.
