In present study, magneto-dielectric properties of Co2Z ferrite materials are tuned via Gd doping for application in high-frequency antennas and filters. Ba3Co2Fe24-xGdxO41 (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) materials are successfully prepared using solid-state method at 925 ā for 4 h with 2.5wt% Bi2O3 sintering aids. Different contents of Gd3+ ion affect micromorphology, grain size, bulk density, and magneto-dielectric properties of the ferrite. Upon increasing Gd3+ ion content, saturation magnetization (M
S) first increases and then decreases. The maximum value of M
S is 44.86 emu/g, which is obtained at x = 0.15. Additionally, sites occupied by Gd3+ ions can change magnetic anisotropy constant of the ferrite. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants (K
1) are derived from initial magnetization curve, and it is found that K
1 is related to spināorbit coupling and intersublattice interactions between metal ions. Real part of magnetic permeability (Ī¼') and real part of dielectric permittivity (Īµ') are measured in frequency range of 10 MHzā1 GHz. When x = 0.15, materials have excellent magnetodielectric properties (Ī¼' ā 12.2 and Īµ' ā 17.61) as well as low magnetic loss (tanĪ“
Ī¼ ā 0.03 @500 MHz) and dielectric loss (tanĪ“
Īµ ā 0.04 @500 MHz). Results show that Gd-doped Co2Z ferrite materials have broad application prospects for use in multilayer filters and high-frequency antennas.
