Abstract

Abstract (1-x)SrFe10Al2O19/(x)Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4-(SFAO/CZFO) hard/soft nanocomposite ferrite materials were synthesized by ‘one-pot’ self-propagating combustion route. The co-existence of the two magnetic phases were confirmed by XRD, FESEM, EDS and VSM. The prepared nanocomposite samples were also characterized by TGA/DSC, Raman spectroscopy and VNA. Exchange coupling between the hard and the soft magnetic grains was observed by determining the switching field distribution (SFD) curve. As a result of the competing effects of exchange interaction and dipolar interaction, magnetic parameters were observed to be sensitive to the incorporation of soft magnetic phase into the nanocomposite. Results showed that with the inclusion of soft magnetic phase, exchange coupling behaviour between the hard and the soft ferrite phases had significant influence on the microwave absorption capacity of the samples. Related electromagnetic parameters and impedance matching ratio of the nanocomposite system were discussed. A minimum reflection loss of −42.9 dB with an absorber thickness of 2.5 mm was attained by the nanocomposite (90 wt%)SrFe10Al2O19/(10 wt %)Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 at a matching frequency of 11.45 GHz. This assured the candidacy of SrFe10Al2O19/Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 nanocomposite as a promising microwave absorption material in the X-band (8–12 GHz).
