Crystallographically textured Ba0.8La0.2Fe11.8-Cu0.2O19-δ hexaferrites with narrow FMR linewidth

Abstract M-type hexaferrites which exhibit strong uniaxial anisotropy field, are promising for the applications in self-biased microwave and millimeter wave (MMW) devices. Here we demonstrate crystallographically textured hexaferrites with narrow ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth synthesized by the conventional ceramic method. Meanwhile, the relationship between iron-deficiency content and microstructure, crystallographic, and magnetic properties are researched. These hexaferrites have strong remanence ratio of above 0.9 along c-axis. By fitting of Lorentzian function to absorption derivative, we probe detailedly into the zero-field FMR linewidth of Ba0.8La0.2Fe11.8-xCu0.2O19-δ hexaferrites. When x equals 1.0, it indicates the narrowest FMR linewidth of 324Oe, as compared with previous reports for crystallographically textured hexaferrites.
