Abstract

The electromagnetic properties of Ba0.8Ca0.2Fe12-xCoxO19 (BCFCO, x = 0.0, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2) ceramics prepared by pressureless sintering were investigated within 2.6–18 GHz. The Co3+-substituted ceramics show the influence of the Co3+ ions enhanced the complex permeability as compared to the without Co3+ ions. The magnetic resonance behavior of BCFCO ceramics mainly depends on the Co3+ content, and the μ-f spectra show enhanced resonance absorption peaks when x increases from 0.6 to 0.8. A refection loss exceeding −5 dB (68.4% absorption) can be obtained in frequency range of 6.0–18 GHz for the Ba0.8Ca0.2Fe11.2Co0.8O19 ceramics with a thickness of 1.5 mm. This suggests that the Ba0.8Ca0.2Fe11.2Co0.8O19 ceramic can be used as an effective microwave absorber with a wide bandwidth.
