Abstract For this study, a modified barium hexaferrite based microwave and radar absorbing material was used. Synthesis and characterization of BaFe(12-2x)(MnTi)xO19 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) have been prepared by solid state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that all samples only crystallized into M-type barium hexaferrite after calcination at 1200 °C. Surface morphology images show that the hexagonal flake-like particle is formed at the initial stages of the Mn-Ti substitution level. The magnetic properties measurement reveals that the variation of magnetization values may vary based on preferable site occupation of Mn4+-Ti2+ cations to replace Fe3+ cations. The significant decrease in field coercivity (Hc) from 3.18 kOe to 0.51 kOe with the increase of Mn-Ti substitution affected the lowering values of field anisotropy (Ha). The maximum reflection loss (RL) positions of BaFe(12-2x)(MnTi)xO19 compositional series are shifted to lower frequency range following the Ha trendlines. The maximum RL value equals to 98.42% microwave absorption at 10.5 GHz has been obtained in x = 1.0 (BaFe10Mn0.5Ti0.5O19) composition.
