Abstract: | Nickel substituted strontium hexaferrite, SrNi2Fe10O19·(SrFe12O19/NiFe2O4) nanoparticles have been synthesized by low combustion method by citrate precursors using sol to gel (S–G) followed by gel to nano crystalline (G–N) conversion. The resulting ‘as-synthesized’ powder is heat treated (HT) at 800 and 1000 °C for 4 h in nitrogen atmosphere. The hysteresis loops show an increase in saturation magnetization from 27.443 to 63.706 emu/g with increasing HT temperatures. The multiwalled carbon nano tubes (CNTs) were synthesized by thermal decomposition of acetylene gas over iron-catalyst deposited on silicon wafer in the temperature range of 750–800 °C. A microwave absorbing medium is prepared by adding CNTs in the nickel substituted strontium hexaferrite nanoparticles. Addition of certain mass of CNTs improves the microwave absorption properties and wave band of SrFe12O19/NiFe2O4 absorbent. When 10 wt% CNTs is mixed with SrFe12O19/NiFe2O4 nanoparticles to fabricate a composite with 2 mm thickness, the maximum reflection loss reaches to ?36.817 dB at 9.292 GHz and ?10 dB bandwidth reaches 3.27 GHz. |
