Abstract

Magnetic composite comprising zinc ferrite and barium hexaferrite; BaFe12O19/ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles having super paramagnetic nature were synthesized by co-precipitation of iron, zinc and barium chloride salts using 7.5 M sodium hydroxide solution. The resulting precursors were heat treated (HT) at 800 and 1200°C for 4 h in nitrogen atmosphere. The hysteresis loops showed an increase in saturation magnetization from 1.040 to 52.938 emu/g with increasing heat treatment (HT) temperatures. The ‘as synthesized’ particles have size in the range of 20–22 nm with spherical and needle shapes. Further, these spherical and needle shaped nanoparticles tend to change their morphology to hexagonal plate shape with increase in HT temperatures. The effect of such a systematic morphological transformation of nanoparticles on microwave absorption properties were estimated in X band (8.2–12.2 GHz). The maximum reflection loss of the composite reaches-23.12 dB (more than 99% power attenuation) at 10.46 GHz which make it a potential material in the area of stealth technology.
