Abstract

In this study, BaCu(B2O5) (BCB) is utilized as the sintering aids to decrease the sintering temperature of Ba3(Co0.4Zn0.6)2Fe24O41 [(Co0.4Zn0.6)2Z]. The influence of BCB addition on the microstructures as well as the dielectric and magnetic properties of the (Co0.4Zn0.6)2Z ceramic samples is investigated. It is found that the 5 wt% BCB added (Co0.4Zn0.6)2Z sintered at 925 °C exhibits both a high relative density of about 95% and a homogeneous microstructure with few pores existing. Both the relative permittivity and permeability of the sample keep stable from 10 to 800 MHz. Also, the dielectric and magnetic loss are low and effectively suppressed within a wide frequency range. For the specimen with 5 wt% BCB, the dielectric and magnetic loss tangent are 0.003 and 0.039 at 200 MHz, respectively. In addition, a compatibility test with Ag powders has been carried out. The optimized properties indicate that this kind of low temperature sintered Z-type hexaferrite is a good candidate for the applications of multilayer chip inductors.
