Abstract
Mixture of cobalt ferrite and strontium hexaferrite nanocrystals i.e. SrFe12O19/CoFe2O4 exhibiting super paramagnetic nature were synthesized by modified flux method. The resulting precursors were heat treated (HT) at 900 and 1200°C for 4 h in nitrogen atmosphere. During heat treatment, transformation proceeds as instantaneous rate of nucleation and three dimensional growth with activation energy of 135.835 kJ/mole. The hysteresis loops showed a hike in saturation magnetization from 1.045 to 84.362 emu/g with an increase in HT temperature. The ‘as synthesized’ particles have size in the range of 10–20 nm with spherical shape. Further, these spherical shape particles tend to change their morphology to hexagonal plates with increase in HT temperatures. The relative complex permittivity and permeability of the composite powder are investigated. The minimum reflection loss of the composite powder reaches to −27.6 dB at 10.8 GHz which suits its application in RADAR absorbing materials.
