Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is focused on original research articles and critical reviews on “Ferrites:preparation, micro-structures and properties". The main aim is to focus on related topics by publishing the current developments in ferrites.

Ferrites are a broad class of iron-containing oxides, including hexagonal ferrites (hexaferrites) such as SrFe12O19, spinel ferrites MFe2O4, garnet ferrites R3Fe5O12, and perovskites MFeO3. Ferrites have attracted considerable attention due to their wide applicability, such as in permanent magnets, magnetic recording, and RF and microwave applications. Currently, ferrites are being explored for more exotic applications. This is particularly true of their application as electronic components for mobile and wireless communications at microwave/GHz frequencies; electromagnetic wave absorbers for EMC, RAM and stealth technologies; and as composite materials.

This Special Issue of Materials on “Ferrites:preparation, micro-structures and properties" will closely follow the research in this topic to highlight the recent achievements of ferrites from leading groups around the world. We appreciate the submission of articles on the synthesis, structure and properties of ferrites, as well as their applications.

In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Hexaferrites
  • Spinel ferrites
  • Garnet ferrite
  • Perovskites
  • Composites of ferrites and other materials

Excellent gyromagnetic properties of textured, bulk Ba-hexaferrite samples are required for low-loss, self-biased applications for microwave and millimeter-wave (MMW) devices.

Excellent gyromagnetic properties of textured, bulk Ba-hexaferrite samples are required for low-loss, self-biased applications for microwave and millimeter-wave (MMW) devices. However, conventionally processed bulk Ba-hexaferrite ceramics typically demonstrate low remanent magnetization values, 4πMr, of 2.0~3.0 kG, and relatively large ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidths, ΔHFMR, of 0.8~2 kOe. These properties lead to the development of high-performance, practical devices. Herein, crystallographically textured Ba-hexaferrite samples, of the composition Ba0.8La0.2Fe11.8Cu0.2O19, having excellent functional properties, are proposed. These materials exhibit strong anisotropy fields, Ha, of ~14.6 kOe, high remanent magnetization, 4πMr, of 3.96 kGs, and a low ΔHFMR of 401 Oe at zero-bias field at the Q-band. Concomitantly, the broadband millimeter-wave transmittance was utilized to determine the complex permeability, μ*, and permittivity, ε*, of textured hexaferrites. Based on Schlöemann’s theory of complex permeability, μ*, the remanent magnetization, 4πMr, anisotropy field, Ha, and effective linewidth, ΔHeff, were estimated; these values agree well with measured values.
