Abstract :

In this study, barium strontium titanate/cobalt zinc ferrite composites that composed of two different magnetic phases were investigated. Pyroelectric phase consists of barium strontium titanate particles with particle size of about 150 nm and soft magnetic phase consists of cobalt zinc ferrite nanoparticles with particle size of about 30 nm. Two phases were prepared with sol-gel method and under appropriate stoichiometry. XRD analyses indicated formation of pure phase for each magnetic phases and FESEM analysis indicate the structural properties of Cobalt-Zinc ferrite and Barium Strontium Titanate nanoparticles. Investigation of permittivity, permeability and reflection loss of samples indicated the response of electromagnetic waves to these samples in the frequency range of 1-18 GHz. According to the reflection loss of composites, there are two mechanisms for the absorption of electromagnetic waves. In the first region of this frequency band, magnetic loss from Cobalt-Zinc ferrite nanoparticles is dominate and in the last region of this frequency band, dielectric loss from barium strontium titanate is dominate.
