Abstract
The effect of sintering temperature and Mn-Ti (x = 0.1 and 0.5 % mol) doped in Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) on the microwave absorption properties have been investigated. The BaFe(12-2x)MnxTixO19samples were prepared by using a solid state reaction method from technical grade materials of BaCO3, Fe2O3, MnO2, and TiO2. The permagraph and vector network analyzer (VNA) measurement with frequency of 4 – 10 GHz were used to determine the magnetic properties and microwave absorbing properties, respectively. The magnetic induction and magnetizing force (B-H) curve analysis of BaFe(12-2x)MnxTixO19revealed that by increasing the Mn-Ti dopant concentrations, the remanence (Br) and BH(max) increases, meanwhile, the HCBvalue decreases for both 1100 and 1150oC. The frequency dependence of reflection loss (RL) measurement given anoptimum value of-26.15 dB at frequency of 9.18 GHz which obtained by x = 0.1% mol Mn-Ti (1100oC). The maximum absorption peak was achieved for 0.5 % mol Mn-Ti sample with ~98.3 % at 9.18 GHz. By controlling the sintering temperature and Mn-Ti dopant concentration, the RL and absorption behavior can be modified to desirable values and also indicates that higher Mn-Ti dopant concentration (0.5% mol) possess better absorbing characteristics. Furthermore, it was found that complex permitivitty and permeability values of BaFe12O19can be modified by controlling the Mn-Ti dopant concentration.
