Nd -doped M -type Strontium hexaferrite powders with composition of Sr 1-x Nd x Fe 12 O 19(x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) were prepared by conventional ceramic method at various calcination temperatures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for characterization of the obtained powders. The results showed that by increasing Nd doping, the single phase magnetoplumbite structure has been formed at higher temperatures. The average crystallite size of the samples calculated by the Scherrer formula indicates that Nd -doping resulted in a significant decrease in the mean crystallite size. The hexaferrite-polymer bulk composites in epoxy resin matrix, with ferrite ratio of 90 wt.%, were also prepared. The microwave absorption properties of these composites were investigated in 8–12 GHz frequency range by means of a vector network analyzer. Due to the reflection loss measurements, Nd -doped Sr -hexaferrite could be a promising material for microwave absorption applications in X-band.

Recently, using microwave devices that emit electromagnetic waves and enhance the convenience of life have increased; however, they can be harmful to the environment. In this study, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared through the conventional sol-gel procedure and then were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and vector network analyzer (VNA) using S parameters. Results illustrated that pure crystal structure of magnetic nanoparticles has been synthesized by the sol-gel method with magnetic saturation (Ms) of 22 emu/g. Finally, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were composited by silicone rubber to investigate its microwave absorption properties. Results showed that the CuFe2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite absorbed more than 94.87% of the microwave irradiation at ku-band frequency with 1.7 mm thickness and the maximum reflection loss was −60.38 dB at 16.1 GHz. Magnetic and dielectric properties of the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles and silicone rubber polymeric matrix in the nanocomposite demonstrated desirable microwave absorption properties.
