Abstract:

NiCuZn ferrites doped with Ta2O5 additive were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The influence of Ta2O5 additive on the microstructure, static magnetic properties and high frequency losses (Pcv) of NiCuZn ferrites were investigated. The results reveal that Ta2O5 can refine the grain of NiCuZn ferrites, and consequently reduce the sintering density. At the same time, the saturation induction and initial permeability of samples reduce monotonously with the increase of Ta2O5 content. The coercive force and resonance frequency, however, increase gradually. Furthermore, the high frequency losses (Pcv) firstly decrease and then increase, and the dominant factor of Pcv transforms from residual loss (Pr) to hysteresis loss (Ph), so the Pcv has a valley value when Ta2O5 content is 0.12wt%. The lowest Pcv is 139 mW/cm3 at the conditions of 100℃, 3 MHz and 10 mT, where Ph and Pr are 93 mW/cm3 and 46 mW/cm3, respectively.
