Abstract

Mg0.446Cu0:144Mn0.01Zn0.4Fe2O4 samples are sintered at various sintering temperature using a multimode cavity of 2.45 GHz microwave oven. The XRD results reveal that all the samples are single phase with spinel structure. The grain size increases with increasing sintering temperature. The electrical resistivity decreases and the dielectric constant increases with increasing sintering temperature. Initial permeability increases with increasing sintering temperature. The results suggest that sintering temperature has a prominent effect on the electric properties.
