Synthesis and characterization of novel nano ceramic magnesium ferrite material doped with samarium and dysprosium for designing-microstrip patch antenna

摘要

The novel nano ceramic magnesium ferrite material doped with double lanthanide i.e., Samarium (Sm) and Dysprosium (Dy) showed the n-type semiconductor, was synthesized by sol- gel technique and sintered in a microwave furnace in order to enhance the electrical and magnetic behavior of this material as per the requirement of Microstrip patch antenna. The structural, surface morphological and chemical compositional properties of this material were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and E-DAX. E-DAX was used for the quantification of elements (Mg, Dy, Sm and Fe) near the detection limit. XRD and SEM were used for estimation and conformation of nano size of the ceramic ferrite material. The studies of other parameters such as porosity, anisotropy constant, initial permeability, saturation magnetization, DC resistivity, dielectric constant and dissipation loss as a function of Dy-Sm doping concentration and frequency were performed. It was seen that permeability, saturation magnetization, dielectric constant and dissipation loss were found to increase, while DC resistivity was found to decrease with the doping of Dy, Sm ions. The desired properties with extremely low permittivity and low relative loss factor along with an improved DC resistivity was obtained to design and for the studies of a suitable E-shaped micro strip patch antenna(MSPA).
