Abstract
In the present work, we have reported the impact of bismuth (Bi) substitution on the structural, morphological, magnetic and microwave absorption properties of sol–gel route synthesized M-type barium hexaferrite BaBixFe12−xO19 (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) within the frequency range of 1–12.5 GHz. The structure, associated functional groups, surface morphology, elemental composition, magnetic and microwave absorption characteristics, were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and vector network analyzer (VNA), respectively. XRD patterns confirmed the single-phase hexagonal structure with high crystallinity and polycrystalline nature of the of bismuth ions doped barium hexaferrites. FE-SEM micrographs indicated that the grains were of platelet-like shapes. The confirmation of particle sizes and shapes were determined by HR-TEM micrographs. XPS investigations elucidated the elemental composition and chemical states at the surface level. BET analysis shed light on the specific surface area and pore characteristics. The increase in saturation magnetization caused by the addition of bismuth dopant is attributed to the replacement of Bi3+ for Fe3+ in tetrahedral 4f1 sites. Microwave absorption characteristics revealed a minimal reflection loss (RL) of nearly − 38.78 dB for a sample thickness of 2.9 mm with an EABRL<− 10 dB of 1.31 GHz (11.46–12.47) and EABRL<− 20 dB of 0.5 GHz (12.05–12.50) near the frequency 12 GHz for x = 0.10 displaying the highest reflection loss of all compositions. The minimum RL lower than − 10 dB and − 20 dB shows that more than 90% and 99% of the electromagnetic wave energy is absorbed. Therefore, this investigation sheds light on the multifaceted influence of bismuth doping on the structural, morphological, magnetic and microwave absorption properties of M-type barium hexaferrites, offering significant implications for their utilization in various technological applications, particularly in the realm of microwave absorption.
