Abstract

Spinel ferrite Ni _x Co_{1 -}_x Fe₂O₄ was prepared by sol-gel method, and the effect of different ion ratios Ni²⁺∶Co²⁺ on its structure and wave-absorbing properties were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vector network analyzer (VNA). Focus on its following features: crystallographic structure, particle size, micromorphology, electromagnetic loss and wave-absorbing performance. The results showed that the average particle size of ferrite wave-absorbers prepared with a molar ratio of citric acid to metal ions of 1∶1 by pH = 7 and followed by being crystalized 950 ^oC for 3 h, is 66.00~70.00 nm. When Ni²⁺∶Co²⁺ = 5∶5, Ni_0.5Co_0.5Fe₂O₄ has the best wave-absorbing performancewith the minimum reflection loss value is -16.15 dB at the absorption layer thickness of 3.00 mm and the frequency is 17.32 GHz, and the effective frequency band width is 2.21 GHz (15.79~18.00 GHz), which is in the Ku band, and the excellent wave-absorbing performance of Ni_0.5Co_0.5Fe₂O₄ is attributed to the combined effect of exchange resonance and eddy current loss.

Key words: sol-gel method spinel nickel-cobalt ferrite ion ratio wave-absorbing properties
