Structural and Dielectric Studies of Cu Substituted Barium Hexaferrite Prepared by Sol-Gel Auto Combustion Technique

In the present study, a series of Cu substituted M type Barium hexagonal ferrite BaCuxFe12-xO19 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) has been synthesized using a Sol- gel auto combustion method. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of Cu/Fe ratio on the crystallography and dielectric properties. The XRD studies reveal a formation of the single phase BaFe12O19 at the initial level and mixed phase of S, M and Y hexaferrite at the higher level of copper substitution. The dielectric measurements were carried out at room temperature in a frequency range of 20 Hz to 2MHz. the dielectric constant is found to decrease with the increase of frequency for all the compositions.
