Synthesis and Characterization of Electromagnetic Material Based On Composite of Barium M-Ferrite and Zinc Oxide

Abstract

The making of composites BaFe₁₂O₁₉/ZnO has been done with Wet Milling method used media toluene. Barium M-Ferrit as a matrix and Zinc Oxide as a filler used as the main raw material for composite manufacturing. The milling process of Barium M-Ferrit was done for 12 hours using the High Energy Milling (HEM). Furthermore, the calcination process used furnace at 900 ° C for 4 hours. While Zinc Oxide is milled for 3 hours and calcined at a temperature of 500 ^oC for 3 hours. The results of Barium M-Ferrit and zinc Oxide mixed using wet milling touluene media for 15 minutes and dried for 1 hour at 200 ^oC. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that BaFe₁₂O₁₉ as a matrix and ZnO as filler with hexagonal crystal structure was formed and the peak showed a single phase, where each BaFe₁₂O₁₉ lattice parameter a = 5.8930 Å, c = 23.1940 Å and ZnO lattice parameter a = 3.2533 Å, c = 5.2073 Å. Characterization Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) obtained the value of magnetic properties BaFe₁₂O₁₉ powder (matrix) obtained (Ms) magnetic saturation 54.03 emu/g, (Mr) magnet remanent 33.06 emu/g, (Hcj) coercivity 2943 Oe and (BHmax) product energy 190 kGOe and Zinc Oxide as filler values ??(Ms) magnet saturation 7.84 emu / g, (Mr) magnet remanent 1.27 emu/g, (Hcj) coercivity 152.4 Oe and (BHmax) energy products 10 kGOe. The results of XRD on 50% mass of composites ZnO additions using match software have two phases, namely the presence of ZnO and BaFe₁₂O₁₉ phases which indicate that heterogeneous structures with hexagonal crystal structures. Composite magnetic properties obtained by adding 50% mass of ZnO were (Mr) magnet 39.40 emu/ g, coercivity 2728 Oe, (BHmax) product energy 110 kGOe and for composites 75% mass addition ZnO remanent 39.36 emu/g with coefficient of 1365 Oe and ( BHmax) product energy was 60 kGOe.
