While there are few absorption-dominant shielding materials proposed with magnetic materials, their working frequencies are usually limited to under 30 GHz. In this study, a novel multi-band absorption-dominant EMI shielding film with M-type strontium ferrites and a conductive grid is proposed. This film shows ultralow EMI reflection of less than 5% in multiple mmWave frequency bands with sub-millimeter thicknesses, while shielding more than 99.9% of EMI. The ultralow reflection frequency bands are controllable by tuning the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of M-type strontium ferrites and composite layer geometries. Two examples of shielding films with ultralow reflection frequencies, one for 39 and 52 GHz 5G telecommunication bands and the other for 60 and 77 GHz autonomous radar bands, are presented. The remarkably low reflectance and thinness of the proposed films provide an important advancement toward the commercialization of EMI shielding materials for 5G mmWave applications.展开更多

Experiment results clearly showed that the pure M-type crystal phase was successfully obtained when the La-Co substitution amountx did not exceed 0.3. However, the single M-type phase structure transformed to multiphase structure with further increased x, where the M-type phase coexisted with the non-magnetic phase such asα-Fe2O3 phase, La2O3 phase, and LaCoO3 phase. Appropriate La-Co substitution improved theMs (>62 emu/g),Ha (>1400 kA/m), andHci (>320 kA/m) for the ferrites withx varying from 0.1 to 0.3, but theTC decreased with increasing substitution amount. More-over, the microwave sintered ferrites could provide largerHci and similarMs compared with the conventional sintered ferrites.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM） were employed to investigate the influence of La-Co on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples. By sintering at 1173 K for 6 h in air, single phase M-type barium ferrites with chemical composition of Ba（LaCo）xFel〉z^Oj9 （x=0.0~）.5） were formed. M-H curves showed that the magnetic properties of barium ferrites were obviously effected by La-Co substitution. The saturation magnetization （Ms） and coercivity （He） reached the maximum value of 65.15 AmZ/kg and 4165 Oe, respectively. This behavior was attributed to the sites of La-Co substitutions and the particles size. SEM revealed that the shape of ferrite particles was influenced by La-Co substitution.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD）, a scanning electronic microscopy （ SEM ）, a physical properties measurement system （PPMS-9）, and a vector network analyzer were used to analyze their structure, surface morphology, magnetic and absorbing properties, respectively. The results show that the absorbing band of the composite absorbing material is widened and the absorbing strength is increased compared with the pure M-type barium ferrite. The sample with the content of doped graphene oxide of 3% has the minimum reflectivity at 10 to 18 GHz frequencies. Hence, the doped graphene oxide effectively improves the absorbing properties of M-type barium ferrite.展开更多

Adsorptive desulfurization（AD...Sulfur in transportation fuels is a major source of air pollution. New strategies for the desulfurization of fuels have been explored to meet the urgent need to produce cleaner gasoline. Adsorptive desulfurization（ADS） is one of the most promising complementary and alternative methods. Herein,nanocrystalline ferrite adsorbents were synthesized from metal nitrates and urea using a microwave assisted combustion method. A series of ADS experiments were performed using a fixed‐bed reactor to evaluate the ADS reactivity over the ferrites, which was found to have the order MgFe2O4〉NiFe2O4〉CuZnFe2O4〉ZnFe2O4〉CoFe2O4. This effect is explained by the fact that the low degree of alloying of Mg‐Fe and the doped Mg increased the interaction between Fe and S compounds,leading to a significant improvement in the desulfurization capability of the adsorbent.Additionally, Mg can dramatically promote the decomposition of thiophene. X‐ray diffraction and Mosbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh, regenerated, and sulfided adsorbents.Although the ferrite adsorbents were partially sulfided to bimetallic sulfides during the adsorption process, they were successfully regenerated after calcining at 500 °C in air.展开更多

The pH values of complete coprecipitation of all Fe 3+, Ti 4+, Co 2+ and Ba 2+ cations are 9-12 and higher than 7.9 on the basis of E-pH plot analysis and thermodynamic calculation, respectively. The minimum pH value necessary to the formation of single-phase BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19 is 8.5 in the light of the co-dump coprecipitation.These results indicate that the coprecipitation process for synthesizing CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders is simultaneously influenced by synergetic coprecipation effect of cations and coordination effect of Cl-anions. The test time of the minimum pH value corresponding to forming a series of single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCo-xTi-xFe- 12-2xO- 19, may be significantly reduced by using the effects of two new factors on the coprecipitation process.展开更多

The structure, morphology, and the magnetic properties of the samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction （XRD）, atomic force microscopy （AFM） and a vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）. A single spinel phase was obtained in the range of x = 0.00 - 0.04. The lattice parameters of the Gd-doped samples were larger than that of pure Li-Ni ferrite, and increased in the range of 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.04, then decreased up to x = 0.08, because of the formation of the secondary phase （Gd- FeO3）. All samples were spheric particles with an average size of about 100 nm, but agglomerated to some extent. The hysteresis loops indicated that the saturation magnetization decreased gradually with increasing Gd content, while the variation of coercivity was related to the microstructure of the Gd-doped samples.展开更多

The samples were uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1250℃ for 4 h in air. The phase structure and microstructure of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The complex permeability was measured using the impedance analyzer in the range of 1-100 MHz. The results indicate that with increasing Nd^3＋ content, the relative density and lattice parameter a of the sintered samples increase, whereas the real part of permeability （μ′） and the magnetic loss tangent （tan δ） decrease. The substitution of Nd^3＋ for Fe^3＋ forms a secondary phase on the grain boundary of the matrix, which strongly restrains the grain growth of the matrix.展开更多

The single SrM phase was detected by XRD in the as-received samples by controlling the Fe contents in the reagents. The substitution of La^3＋and Zn^2＋ obviously increased the magnetic properties of the as-prepared samples. The maximum improvements of Br, Hcb and （BH）m were 14.4%, 15.3% and 30.7%, respectively compared with that of the samples without La-Zn substitution. Microstructure observation by SEM showed that the SHS method benefited forming the better particle features and achieving the higher Hcj in comparison with the traditional firing method.展开更多

文摘Although there is a high demand for absorption-dominant electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding materials for 5G millimeter-wave(mmWave) frequencies, most current shielding materials are based on reflection-dominant conductive materials. While there are few absorption-dominant shielding materials proposed with magnetic materials, their working frequencies are usually limited to under 30 GHz. In this study, a novel multi-band absorption-dominant EMI shielding film with M-type strontium ferrites and a conductive grid is proposed. This film shows ultralow EMI reflection of less than 5% in multiple mmWave frequency bands with sub-millimeter thicknesses, while shielding more than 99.9% of EMI. The ultralow reflection frequency bands are controllable by tuning the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of M-type strontium ferrites and composite layer geometries. Two examples of shielding films with ultralow reflection frequencies, one for 39 and 52 GHz 5G telecommunication bands and the other for 60 and 77 GHz autonomous radar bands, are presented. The remarkably low reflectance and thinness of the proposed films provide an important advancement toward the commercialization of EMI shielding materials for 5G mmWave applications.

文摘The La-Co substituted Sr1–xLaxFe12–xCoxO19 (x=0–0.5) ferrites with appropriate Bi2O3 additive were prepared by conventional sintering method and microwave sintering method at low sintering temperatures compatible with LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) systems, and their sintering behavior was chiefly investigated, including the crystal structure, saturation magnetizationMs, magnetic anisotropy fieldHa, intrinsic coercivityHci, and Curie temperatureTC. Experiment results clearly showed that the pure M-type crystal phase was successfully obtained when the La-Co substitution amountx did not exceed 0.3. However, the single M-type phase structure transformed to multiphase structure with further increased x, where the M-type phase coexisted with the non-magnetic phase such asα-Fe2O3 phase, La2O3 phase, and LaCoO3 phase. Appropriate La-Co substitution improved theMs (>62 emu/g),Ha (>1400 kA/m), andHci (>320 kA/m) for the ferrites withx varying from 0.1 to 0.3, but theTC decreased with increasing substitution amount. More-over, the microwave sintered ferrites could provide largerHci and similarMs compared with the conventional sintered ferrites.
文摘The effects of heat treatment conditions on the magnetic properties and microstructure of M-type strontium ferrite according to calcination temperature were analyzed.Strontium ferrite Sr0.06Ca0.52La0.52Fe11.68Co0.22O19magnetic powder was prepared by a standard ceramic process.During experiments,the calcination temperature was varied from 1180 to 1260℃,and sintering temperature was fixed.While the M-phase(SrFe12O19)existed with hematite(Fe2 O3)in the powder calcined at below 1220℃,the pure M-phase was observed in the powder calcined at over1240℃.With an increase in the calcination temperature,the magnetization of the calcined powder increases,meanwhile,the coercivity decreases.The magnetization is improved by decreasing the lattice constant c and activating the Fe3+-OFe3+superexchange interaction,and the coercivity decreases by the large particle sizes due to the grain growth.

文摘La-Co substituted M-type barium ferrites （BaM） were prepared by traditional solid state method and sintered at low tem- perature （1173 K）. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM） were employed to investigate the influence of La-Co on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples. By sintering at 1173 K for 6 h in air, single phase M-type barium ferrites with chemical composition of Ba（LaCo）xFel〉z^Oj9 （x=0.0~）.5） were formed. M-H curves showed that the magnetic properties of barium ferrites were obviously effected by La-Co substitution. The saturation magnetization （Ms） and coercivity （He） reached the maximum value of 65.15 AmZ/kg and 4165 Oe, respectively. This behavior was attributed to the sites of La-Co substitutions and the particles size. SEM revealed that the shape of ferrite particles was influenced by La-Co substitution.

文摘W-type barium-nickel ferrite(BaNi_(2)Fe_(16)O_(27))is a highly promising material for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption be-cause of its magnetic loss capability for EMW,low cost,large-scale production potential,high-temperature resistance,and excellent chemical stability.However,the poor dielectric loss of magnetic ferrites hampers their utilization,hindering enhancement in their EMW-absorption performance.Developing efficient strategies that improve the EMW-absorption performance of ferrite is highly desired but re-mains challenging.Here,an efficient strategy substituting Ba^(2+)with rare earth La^(3+)in W-type ferrite was proposed for the preparation of novel La-substituted ferrites(Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)).The influences of La^(3+)substitution on ferrites’EMW-absorption performance and the dissipative mechanism toward EMW were systematically explored and discussed.La^(3+)efficiently induced lattice defects,enhanced defect-induced polarization,and slightly reduced the ferrites’bandgap,enhancing the dielectric properties of the ferrites.La^(3+)also enhanced the ferromagnetic resonance loss and strengthened magnetic properties.These effects considerably improved the EMW-absorption perform-ance of Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)compared with pure W-type ferrites.When x=0.2,the best EMW-absorption performance was achieved with a minimum reflection loss of-55.6 dB and effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 3.44 GHz.
文摘Copper-zinc-nickel(Cu-Zn-Ni)ferrite nanoparticles are used for wastewater treatment technology.However,low degradation efficiency and stability are two main issues that make them unsuitable for actual production needs.In this paper,the citrate-nitrate auto-combustion method was applied for the formation of Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4);(0≤x≤0.1;step 0.02)(CZNL)nanoferrites.Although the substitution process entails the replacement of a small ion with a larger one,the lattice constant and crystallite size does not exhibit a consistent incremental pattern.This behavior is justified and discussed.The size of all the CZNL ferrite nanoparticles is in the range of 8-12 nm,and the lattice constant is in the range of 8.6230 to 8.4865 nm.The morphological analysis conducted using field emission-scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)reveals that the CZNL exhibits agglomerated spherical morphology.The energy dispersive X-ray spectrameter(EDAX)analysis was employed to confirm the elemental composition of CZNL nanoferrites.Since the process entails the substitution of Fe^(3+)magnetic ions with nonmagnetic ions La^(3+),the magnetic parameters of CZNL nanoferrites show a general decreasing trend as predicted.At 20 K,saturation magnetization Ms shows an overall drop in its values from 59.302 emu/g at x=0.0-41.295 emu/g at x=0.1,the smallest value of 37.87 emu/g is recorded at x=0.06.the highest coercivity(H_(c)=125.9 Oe)and remanence(M_(r)=13.32 emu/g)are recorded for x=0.08 and x=0.04 nanoferrite,respectvely.The band gap of all the CZNL nanoferrites was determined using the Kubelka-Munk function and Tauc plot for direct permitted transitions.La doping modifies the band gap(within 1.86-1.75 eV),increases light absorption,induces efficient e/h separation and charge migration to Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)surfaces.The nanoferrite Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)achieves a degradation efficiency of 97.3%for methylene blue(MB)dye removal after just 60 min.After five recycling processes,the nanocatalyst Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)is degraded by 95.83%,resulting in a negligible1.51%decrease in photocatalytic activity efficiency.The new Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)has exceptional photocatalytic activity and remarkable stability,making it a promising candidate for applications in wastewater treatment.

文摘The intrinsic high magnetocrystalline anisotropy equivalent field can help the hexaferrites break through Snoek’s limit and increase the resonance frequency.This is advantageous for microwave absorption applications in the mid to low-frequency range of gigahertz.In this study,we prepared Z-type Ba_(3)Co_(1.6−x)Zn_(x)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)hexaferrites using the sol-gel auto-combustion method.By changing the ratio of Co and Zn ions,the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of ferrite is further ma-nipulated,resulting in significant changes in their magnetic resonance frequency and intensity.Ba_(3)Zn_(1.6)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)with high-frequency resonance achieved the lowest reflectivity of−72.18 dB at 15.56 GHz,while Ba_(3)Co_(1.5)Zn_(0.1)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)with stronger loss obtained the widest bandwidth of 4.93 GHz(6.14-11.07).Additionally,we investigated surface wave suppression properties previously overlooked.Ba_(3)Co_(1.5)Zn_(0.1)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)can achieve a larger attenuation at low frequency under low thickness,which has an excellent effect on reducing backscattering.This work provides a useful reference for the preparation and application of high-performance magnetic-loss materials.
文摘Nanoferrites of the CoMn_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4) series(x=0.00,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20)were synthesized in this study using the sol-gel auto-combustion approach.The lattice constants were computed within the range of 8.312-8.406Å,while crystallite sizes were estimated to range between 55.20 and 31.40 nm using the Scherrer method.The different functional groups were found to correlate with various ab-sorption bands using Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy.Five active modes were identified by Raman spectroscopy,reveal-ing vibration modes of O2-ions at tetrahedral and octahedral locations.The ferromagnetic hysteresis loop was observed in all the synthes-ized samples,which can be explained by Neel’s model.The results showed that AC conductivity decreased with increasing Mn^(2+)content at the Fe^(2+)site,while the dielectric constant and dielectric loss increased with increasing frequency.Furthermore,the saturation magnetiz-ation(Ms),remnant magnetization(M_(r)),and coercivity(H_(c))all showed declining trends with the increase in Mn^(2+)doping.Finally,the CoMn_(0.20)Fe_(1.8)O_(4) samples showed Ms and M_(r) values ranging from 73.12 to 66.84 emu/g and from 37.77 to 51.89 emu/g,respectively,while Hc values ranged from 1939 to 1312 Oe,after which coercivity increased.Thus,the CoMn_(0.20)Fe_(1.8)O_(4) sample can be considered a prom-ising candidate for magnetic applications.
文摘Rare earth metal ferrites-based heterojunctions have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their exceptional photocatalytic properties and potential applications in water treatment and energy conversion.The incorporation of rare earth metal ferrites into heterojunction photocatalytic systems enhances light absorption,charge separation and photocatalytic efficiency.This review comprehensively discusses some common types of rare earth metal ferrites such as LaFeO_(3),GdFeO_(3),SmFeO_(3),PrFeO_(3)and CeFeO_(3)and their properties as photocatalysts.The photocatalytic pollutants removal and energy conversion mechanisms are discussed in detail and various types of heterojunctions reported in literature based on rare earth metal ferrites and their synthetic routes are also explored.The recent key findings and advances in the heterojunctions based on these rare earth metal ferrites for the pollutants removal and energy conversion applications are summarized.Despite notable progress in enhancing photocatalytic efficiency and stability,several challenges remain.Current research highlights improvements in material synthesis and performance,but issues such as high production costs,scalable synthesis and limited long-term stability persist.Future directions should focus on exploring uncharted applications,novel material combinations and enhancing the practical implementation of these heterojunctions to fully exploit their potential in environmental and energy technologies.

文摘In this study,Cu_(0.25)Ni_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Fe_(2-x)Nd_(x)O_(4)(0.000≤x≤0.100,andΔx=0.025)spinel ferrites were synthesized using the auto-combustion method to investigate the influence of neodymium(Nd^(3+))substitution on their structural,optical,dielectric,and magnetic properties.X-ray diffraction result confirms the formation of a face-centered cubic spinel structure,with the average crystallite size decreasing from 39 to 15 nm as Nd^(3+)concentration increases.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals characteristic absorption bands,affirming the spinel structure.Dielectric measurements over a broad frequency range show a higher dielectric constant and lower dielectric loss,indicating potential suitability for energy-efficient electronic applications.Magnetic analysis using a vibrating sample magnetometer demonstrates soft magnetic behavior,with saturation magnetization decreasing from82.69 to 66.80 emu/g and a tunable ratio(0.0221-0.0068)of remnant magnetization to saturation magnetization depending on Nd^(3+)content.In situ ultrasonic studies provides phase transition temperature(Curie temperature,T_(c))values ranging from 516 to 489 K,highlighting thermal stability and magnetic phase transition behavior.Furthermore,reflection loss measurements in the X-band frequency range(8-12 GHz)confirm the excellent electromagnetic interference shielding and radar absorption capabilities of Cu_(0.25)Ni_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Fe_(2-x)Nd_(x)O_(4)spinel ferrites.These findings underscore the potential of Nd^(3+)-doped Cu-Ni-Zn spinel ferrites for advanced technological applications,including electronic devices,thermal sensors,and electromagnetic wave absorbers.

文摘Rare earth(RE)doped ferrites with the chemical formula Cu_(0.3)Zn_(0.3)Mg_(0.4)T_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)(x=0,0.1;T=La,Ce,Sr)were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method.The structural,optical,electrical and humidity sensing properties of Cu-Mg-Zn ferrites with rare earth element doping were investigated.Single-phase cubic spinel structure was confirmed via X-ray diffraction(XRD),and the crystal size ranges fro m 22.12 to 63.17 nm according to the Scherrer formula and from 25.66 to 67.46 nm according to the Williamson-Hall method.Po rous structure and elemental characterization of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The optic band gap varies between 2.21 and 2.49 eV.Electrical measurements were conducted in the frequency range of 1 Hz-20 MHz and temperature range of 25-400℃.It has been determined that the dielectric results are consistent with the Maxwell-Wagner method and exhibit a non-Debye relaxation model,as observed from the Nyquist plots.At a minimum frequency value of 1 Hz,the dielectric constants for pure,Ce,Sr,and La samples are 9×10^(4),5×10^(4),1×10^(8),and 2×10^(5) at 25℃,and 1.85×10^(8),1.34×10^(8),1.15×10^(10),and 4.4×10^(8)at 400℃.In the same order,for the maximum frequency value of 20 MHz,the dielectric constants at 25℃are 169,166,3799,and 60,while at 400℃they are 734,624,12108,and 774.The La doped sample's low dielectric loss makes it suitable for high-frequency applications.Humidity measurements were performed at room temperature and in the 5%-95%relative humidity range.The humidity properties of the samples were investigated through humidity mapping,sensitivity,hysteresis,and long-term stability tests.Compared to other samples,the results indicate that Ce exhibits better humidity performance with 99%sensitivity and the highest repeatability(91.2%).These results show that Ce-doped ferrite can be used as a low-cost,high-performance humidity sensor.

文摘In order to improve the absorbing properties of M- type barium ferrite absorbing materials, M-type barium ferrite/graphene oxide composites with different graphene oxide contents were synthesized by the sol-gel autocombustion method. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, a scanning electronic microscopy （ SEM ）, a physical properties measurement system （PPMS-9）, and a vector network analyzer were used to analyze their structure, surface morphology, magnetic and absorbing properties, respectively. The results show that the absorbing band of the composite absorbing material is widened and the absorbing strength is increased compared with the pure M-type barium ferrite. The sample with the content of doped graphene oxide of 3% has the minimum reflectivity at 10 to 18 GHz frequencies. Hence, the doped graphene oxide effectively improves the absorbing properties of M-type barium ferrite.

文摘A series of Cu-substituted Ni_(0.5-x)Cu_xZn_(0.5)Fe_2O_4(x=0.12,0.16,0.20,0.24 and 0.28) spinel ferrites were prepared by conventional ceramic method to investigate the effects of Cu compositional variation on the structure and dielectric properties.XRD patterns demonstrate that all the samples are crystallized in single-phase cubic spinel structure and the lattice constant increases with increasing Cu content.White grains observed by SEM are Cu-rich phase.The dielectric constant versus frequency curve displays a normal dielectric behavior of spinel ferrites.While the frequency dependence of dielectric loss tangent is found to be abnormal,exhibiting a peak at certain frequency for all Cu-substituted Ni-Zn ferrites.A maximum of the resistivity is observed at x=0.2 due to the decrease of hopping electrons between Fe^(2+) and Fe^(3+) in per unit volume,which is in contrast with the Cu content dependence of dielectric constant and dielectric loss.

文摘Sulfur in transportation fuels is a major source of air pollution. New strategies for the desulfurization of fuels have been explored to meet the urgent need to produce cleaner gasoline. Adsorptive desulfurization（ADS） is one of the most promising complementary and alternative methods. Herein,nanocrystalline ferrite adsorbents were synthesized from metal nitrates and urea using a microwave assisted combustion method. A series of ADS experiments were performed using a fixed‐bed reactor to evaluate the ADS reactivity over the ferrites, which was found to have the order MgFe2O4〉NiFe2O4〉CuZnFe2O4〉ZnFe2O4〉CoFe2O4. This effect is explained by the fact that the low degree of alloying of Mg‐Fe and the doped Mg increased the interaction between Fe and S compounds,leading to a significant improvement in the desulfurization capability of the adsorbent.Additionally, Mg can dramatically promote the decomposition of thiophene. X‐ray diffraction and Mosbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh, regenerated, and sulfided adsorbents.Although the ferrite adsorbents were partially sulfided to bimetallic sulfides during the adsorption process, they were successfully regenerated after calcining at 500 °C in air.

文摘To improve the performance of Ni-Zn ferrites for power field use,the influence of MnO2 additive on the properties of Ni-Zn ferrites was investigated by the conventional powder metallurgy.The results show that MnO2 does not form a visible second phase in the doping mass fraction range of（0-2.0%）.The average grain size,sintering density and real permeability gradually decrease with the increase of the MnO2 content.And the DC resistivity continuously increases with the increase of MnO2 content.The saturation magnetization（magnetic moment in unit mass） first increases slightly when mass fraction of MnO2 is less than 0.4% MnO2,and then gradually decreases with increasing the MnO2 mass fraction due to the exchange interaction of the cations.When the excitation frequency is less than 1 MHz,the power loss（Pcv） continuously increases with increasing the MnO2 content due to the decrease of average grain size.However,when the excitation frequency exceeds 1 MHz,eddy current loss gradually becomes the predominant contribution to Pcv.And the sample with a higher resistivity favors a lower Pcv,except for the sample with 2.0% MnO2.The sample without additive has the best Pcv when worked at frequencies less than 1 MHz;and the sample with 1.6% MnO2 additive has the best Pcv when worked at frequencies higher than 1 MHz.

文摘The effect of pH values on synthesizing single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19, was investigated employing corrosion versus pH plot (E-pH plot) for metal element, thermodynamic calculation, and co-dump coprecipitation. The pH values of complete coprecipitation of all Fe 3+, Ti 4+, Co 2+ and Ba 2+ cations are 9-12 and higher than 7.9 on the basis of E-pH plot analysis and thermodynamic calculation, respectively. The minimum pH value necessary to the formation of single-phase BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19 is 8.5 in the light of the co-dump coprecipitation.These results indicate that the coprecipitation process for synthesizing CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders is simultaneously influenced by synergetic coprecipation effect of cations and coordination effect of Cl-anions. The test time of the minimum pH value corresponding to forming a series of single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCo-xTi-xFe- 12-2xO- 19, may be significantly reduced by using the effects of two new factors on the coprecipitation process.

文摘A series of Gd-doped Li-Ni ferrites with the formula of LiNi0.5GdxFe2-xO4 where x = 0.00 - 0.08 in steps of 0.02, were prepared by thermolysis of oxalate precursors obtained by rheological phase reaction. The structure, morphology, and the magnetic properties of the samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction （XRD）, atomic force microscopy （AFM） and a vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）. A single spinel phase was obtained in the range of x = 0.00 - 0.04. The lattice parameters of the Gd-doped samples were larger than that of pure Li-Ni ferrite, and increased in the range of 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.04, then decreased up to x = 0.08, because of the formation of the secondary phase （Gd- FeO3）. All samples were spheric particles with an average size of about 100 nm, but agglomerated to some extent. The hysteresis loops indicated that the saturation magnetization decreased gradually with increasing Gd content, while the variation of coercivity was related to the microstructure of the Gd-doped samples.
文摘Ni0.4Zn0.6Fe2-xNdxO4（x = 0-0.07） ferrites doped with different amounts of Nd2O3 were prepared using standard ceramic technique. The samples were uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1250℃ for 4 h in air. The phase structure and microstructure of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The complex permeability was measured using the impedance analyzer in the range of 1-100 MHz. The results indicate that with increasing Nd^3＋ content, the relative density and lattice parameter a of the sintered samples increase, whereas the real part of permeability （μ′） and the magnetic loss tangent （tan δ） decrease. The substitution of Nd^3＋ for Fe^3＋ forms a secondary phase on the grain boundary of the matrix, which strongly restrains the grain growth of the matrix.

文摘The La-Zn substituted SrM-type ferrites with the composition of Sr1-xLaxFe12-xZnxO19 （x=0-0.4） were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis （SHS）. The single SrM phase was detected by XRD in the as-received samples by controlling the Fe contents in the reagents. The substitution of La^3＋and Zn^2＋ obviously increased the magnetic properties of the as-prepared samples. The maximum improvements of Br, Hcb and （BH）m were 14.4%, 15.3% and 30.7%, respectively compared with that of the samples without La-Zn substitution. Microstructure observation by SEM showed that the SHS method benefited forming the better particle features and achieving the higher Hcj in comparison with the traditional firing method.
