Abstract

Gd–Co-co-substituted M-type Ca–Sr hexaferrites with nominal compositions Ca0.40Sr0.60−xGdxFe12.00−xCoxO19 (0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.32) were prepared using the standard ceramic method. The particle size of obtained hexaferrite powders is between 2 and 5 µm. These hexaferrites were characterized by thermal analyzer (TG-DSC), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transformer infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and resistivity testing system. XRD patterns showed that the single M-type hexaferrite phase was obtained only if Gd–Co content (x) ≤ 0.16. FE-SEM micrographs indicated that the grains were platelet-like shapes. The saturation magnetization (Ms) and remanent magnetization (Mr) decreased with increasing Gd–Co content (x) from 0.00 to 0.32. The coercivity (Hc) first increased with Gd–Co content (x) from 0.00 to 0.24, and then decreased when Gd–Co content (x) ≥ 0.24. The DC electrical resistivity decreased with increasing Gd–Co content (x) from 0.00 to 0.32.
