Ferromagnetic Resonance Investigation of Hexaferrite Nanoparticles Prepared by Sol-Gel Auto-Combustion Method

In this study, the magnetic and electromagnetic wave-absorbing properties of barium and strontium ferrite nanopowders prepared by a sol-gel technique were investigated. To study the structural characteristics of hexaferrites, X-ray diffraction analysis was used. Investigation of the morphologies of nanoparticles was carried out by field emission scanning electron microscopy. A vibrating sample magnetometer was used in order to examine the magnetic properties of synthesized hexaferrites at room temperature. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) was used to investigate ferromagnetic resonance of the powders. Experimental results indicated that the materials had hexagonal structures with desirable magnetic properties. A low-field absorption signal was observed with the same phase as the FMR absorption in barium hexaferrites.
