| Summary: | This research work studied the synthesis of barium hexaferrite (BHF) in detail,
focusing on their microstructure, magnetic, and microwave properties. As the
raw material for this project, the iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, is utilized and processed
from mill scale waste. The iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, then mixed with barium
carbonate (BaCO3) to synthesize the barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19, BHF) by
employing the high-energy ball milling (HEBM) technique for 3 hours, a single
milling (SM) process. The BHF-SM samples were then sintered from 800 °C to
1400 °C with an increment of 100 °C. The sintered BHF-SM samples was again
employing by HEBM technique for 3 hours, a double milling (DM) process. The
samples after double millng process namely as BHF-DM. The hybrid multiwalled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/BHF has been introduced in this research. The
structural, microstructure and magnetic properties of the prepared samples were
examined using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer
(VSM), and field emission scanning electron (FESEM), respectively. Vector
network analyzer (VNA) has been used for measuring Reflection Loss (RL),
complex permeability (µr) and complex permittivity (εr) in frequency ranges at X
and Ku band (8-18 GHz). The RL for BHF-SM and BHF-DM nanocomposites
are samples sintered at 1400 oC, shows the maximum RL with −13.71 dB is at
the frequency of 9.96 GHz with a bandwidth of 0.24 GHz at a thickness of 3 mm
and −35.57 dB at 12.33 GHz with a bandwidth of 1.2 GHz at a thickness of 2
mm, respectively. The hybrid MWCNTs/BHF-SM sample with 10 wt% filler
content could enhance the RL values up to −43.99 dB at a frequency of 12.96
GHz with bandwidth of 2.56 GHz at a thickness of 2 mm. As for hybrid
MWCNTs/BHF-DM sample, the RL is approximately −32.49 dB at 12.9 GHz with
a bandwidth of 2.31 GHz at a thickness 2 mm. Generally, it was found that hybrid is a most highly potential candidate as ideal MAMs due to high microwave
attenuation performances, enhanced the RL of and wide bandwidth. |
