A high-quality magnetic Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrite powder/polymer composite sheet was fabricated using common and environmentally friendly elements, and tested for dynamic permeability at frequencies up to 50 GHz. Two different methods were used for the high-frequency permeability measurements, both producing essentially equivalent results. The sample exhibited uniaxial-anisotropic behavior in the parallel direction of the sheet, showing potential as an anisotropic electromagnetic wave-interference material at GHz frequencies.
We have fabricated a high quality magnetic Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrite powder/polymer composite sheet consisting of common and environmentally friendly elements only. The sheet was then tested for its dynamic permeability by irradiating with electromagnetic waves with frequencies up to 50 GHz. Two different originally developed methods were used for the high-frequency permeability measurements, a short-circuited microstrip line method and a microstrip line-probe method. It is challenging to measure the dynamic permeability of magnetic thin films/sheets beyond 10 GHz because of the low response signal from these materials. However, the two methods produced essentially equivalent results. In the frequency dependent permeability profile, the maximum position of the profile, mu ''(max), shifted towards higher frequencies upon increasing an applied (strong) static external magnetic field, H-dc. A linear relationship between mu ''(max) and H-dc for the entire range of H-dc was observed even at small H-dc. In general, the spinel-structured Ni-based ferrites exhibit low magnetic anisotropy, but the present sample showed a uniaxial-anisotropic behavior in the parallel direction of the sheet. Our Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 powder/polymer composite sheet thus exhibits high performance at GHz frequencies, and should be applicable e.g. as an anisotropic electromagnetic wave-interference material.
