Z-TYPE HEXAFERRITE HAVING A NANOCRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE

Abstract:

In an aspect, a Co.sub.2Z ferrite has the formula: (Ba.sub.1-xSr.sub.x).sub.3Co.sub.2+yM.sub.yFe.sub.24-2y-zO.sub.41. M is at least one of Mo, Ir, or Ru. The variable x can be 0 to 0.8, or 0.1 to 0.8. The variable y can be 0 to 0.8, or 0.01 to 0.8. The variable z can be -2 to 2. The Co.sub.2Z ferrite can have an average grain size of 5 to 100 nanometers, or 30 to 80, or 10 to 40 nanometers as measured using at least one of transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, or x-ray diffraction.
