Abstract

The square ferrite/carbon composite, which consists of single-crystalline Fe3O4 nanorods (~80 nm width, 600–800 nm length), has been prepared by a hydrothermal process and undergone subsequent heat treatment at 750, 800, 850 and 930 °C, respectively. The X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectrum and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy confirmed the transforming of ferrite/carbon to ferroalloy/graphite when the annealing temperature rose from 750 to 930 °C, and the graphitization degree increased as the integral area ratio of D1–G band (I D1/I G) decreased from 2.83 to 1.59. The saturation magnetization increased from 87.65 to 156.81 emu g−1, while residual magnetization and coercivity decreased from 12.39 emu g−1 and 231.33–2.937 emu g−1 and 72.71 Oe, respectively. The dielectric/magnetic studies showed that the real part (ε′) and imaginary part (ε″) of the permittivity declined from 9.43–10.98 and 1.20–1.92 to 3.54–3.73 and 0.02–0.10, respectively, while the permeability changed little. The calculated maximum reflection loss (RL) of 750 °C annealing sample reached −11.76 dB at 12.56 GHz with 2 mm thickness; by contrast, the maximum RL of 930 °C annealing sample only reached −2.6 dB at 16.8 GHz. Such difference may be attributed to the enhancement of dielectric properties, complementation of dielectric/magnetic losses and anisotropy in morphology.
