替代M-型钡铁氧体纳米粒子的微波吸收性能

The microwave-absorbing behavior of substituted M-type barium ferrite nano-particles was investigated. The nano-particles were synthesized with coprecipitation-melted salt method. For the purpose of comparison, corre-sponding micro-particles were also prepared through direct coprecipitation and sintering. XRD and TEM of the nano-particles showed that the ferrite was hexagonal in structure and widely distributed in size with particle size being less than 100nm, the complex permittivity and permeability of a 1.50mm thick specimen and a 1.40mm thick specimen containing 60% by weight of substituted M-type barium ferrite nano-particles and micro-particles were measured respectively in X band (8.2～12.4GHz) range, from which the reflection loss (R.L.) of microwaves was calculated and two comparative absorption curves were given. The results showed that the synthetic nano-particles could well absorb microwaves in X band. The absorption was larger than 10dB in the range of 9.2～12.4GHz while the maximum absorption was 38.6dB at 10.6GHz.
