Abstract

Microwave characterization of SrCo_xTi_xFe_(12−2x)O₁₉ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 1.0) ferrites has been studied as a function of frequency, substitution and thickness, and static electrical current density-electric field characteristics have been investigated as a function of substitution. Microwave characteristics have been measured using power meter in the rectangular slotted waveguide and current density is measured using electrometer. The microwave absorption is evaluated using the standard available model. The results depict −11.57 dB reflection loss at 10.38 GHz in composition x = 0.6. The electrical current density decreases at lower substitution and increases at higher substitution. The substitution of Co²⁺ and Ti⁴⁺ ions causes enhancement of electromagnetic and static electrical properties.
