The sintering characteristics of hexagonal Co 2-Y-type ferrite, Ba 2 Co 2 Fe 12 O 22 , with the addition of 0.6 wt% CuO, were studied in order to allow for preparation in air, as opposed to the conventionally recommended O 2 , for industrial production. The dependence of the resistivity, ρ magnetic loss, tanδ, and the permeability, μ, at 1 GHz on the sintering temperature was investigated. A low tanδ of 0.05 with a µ of 2.7 at a frequency of 1 GHz, along with a high ρ (up to 7 × 10 4 μm), were attained under sintering at 1170˚C in air, which were the same features as those of samples sintered at 1200˚C in O 2. The dependence of tanδ on grain diameter was also examined, and it was determined that a small grain size (less than 2 μm) is preferable for low tanδ.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
