Abstract

Polycrystalline Ni-Zn ferrites with a well-defined composition of Ni0.4Zn0.6Fe2-xSbxO4 synthesized using sol–gel method. Morphological characterizations on the prepared samples were performed by high resolution transmission electron and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The powders were densified using microwave sintering method. The room temperature complex permittivity (ε′ and ε″) and permeability (μ′ and μ″) were measured over a wide frequency range from 1 MHz–1.8 GHz. The real part of permittivity varies as ‘x’ concentration increases and the resonance frequency was observed at much higher frequencies and there is a significant decrease in the loss factor (tanδ). The electrical resistivity and permeability of NiZn ferrites increased with an increase of Sb content. As the concentration of ‘x’ increases from 0 to 0.08 the saturation magnetisation decreases. The saturation magnetization (Ms) ≈ 52.211 A.m2/Kg for x = 0 at room temperature. The room temperature electro paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were studied.
