Generation of abnormally large grains in the microstructure of small grains has been investigated on some ferrites. Some fractions of large grains were observed in the microstructue of sintered ZnFe$_2$O$_4$, Mn-ZnFe$_2$O$_4$, Fe$_3$O$_4$(in $N_2$) and MnFe$_2$O$_4$(in air). On the other hand, the large grains were not observed in $NiFe_2$$O_4$ and $CoFe_2$$O_4$, independent of calcining and sintering conditions. The large grains seem to be generated in such ferrites that are easy to very their compositions or valencies at high temperatures. as the sintering proceeded, the number of large grains was increasing to from a continuous structure consisting of large grains, while the size of large grains did not increase remarkably. In addition, the growth of small grains was also very slow during the generation of the large grains. The large grains appeared be suddenly generated after some induction periods. Avrami equation could be applied to the relation between net volume of large grains and sintering time. Thus, the grain boundaries may be strongly stabilized when the large grains are generated. The large grain is generated y the local activation of the stabilized rain boundaries, which is caused by the variation of composition or valencies during sintering. It is concluded that the essence of the abnormal gain growth is not the generation of abnormally large grains, but the abnormal stabilization and the local activation of he grain boundaries.

YIG(Yttrium Iron Garnet) is one of the most widely used ferrites for microwave telecommunication. It used as a passive devices such as isolators and circulators. In order to reduce the insertion losses of these passive devices, it is very important to reduce magnetic loss of the ferrites. In general, the magnetic losses of ferrites is closely related to the microstructure of the ceramics. In the sintering of YIG, pores are easily trapped in grains and grain boundaries. These pores cause to increase magnetic losses of the sinterted bodies. In this paper, the effect of the $SiO_2$ addition on the microstructure was discussed. Increasing the $SiO_2$ addition, the grain size was reduced, which means that added acts as a grain-growth inhibitor. During the sintering, $SiO_2$ settled down on the grain boundaries, and drag the grain growth. Therefore, there is enough time for pores to move out. The relative density of YIG sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ with 1 mol% $SiO_2$ addition was 99.6%. $\Delta$H of these samples was under 50 Oe.

This study investigated the magnetic properties and frequency dispersion of complex permeability of Ni-Zn-Co ferrites used for magnetic shielding in near field communication (NFC) system. The sintered specimens of $(Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3})_{1-x}Co_xFe_2O_4$ composition were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The coercive force and saturation magnetization were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The complex permeability was measured by RF impedance analyzer in the range of 1 MHz~1.8 GHz. The coercive force increased and saturation magnetization decreased with increasing the Co substitution. The real and imaginary parts of complex permeability decreased and the resonance frequency increased with Co substitution, which was attributed to the increase in crystal anisotropy field and reduction in saturation magnetization. The effect of Co substitution could be found in reducing the magnetic loss to nearly zero at the operating frequency of NFC (13.56 MHz).

This study investigates the influence of sintering temperature on the magnetic properties and frequency dispersion of the complex permeability of Ni-Zn-Cu ferrites used for magnetic shielding in near-field communication (NFC) systems. Sintered specimens of $(Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3})_{0.96}Cu_{0.04}Fe_2O_4$ are prepared by conventional ceramic processing. The complex permeability is measured by an RF impedance analyzer in the range of 1 MHz to 1.8 GHz. The real and imaginary parts of the complex permeability depend sensitively on the sintering temperature, which is closely related to the microstructure, including grain size and pore distribution. In particular, internal pores within grains produced by rapid grain growth decrease the permeability and increase the magnetic loss at the operating frequency of NFC (13.56 MHz). At the optimized sintering temperature ($1225-1250^{\circ}C$), the highest permeability and lowest magnetic loss can be obtained.

산소 결핍 페라이트 (oxygen deficient ferrites, ODF) MF $e_2$ $O_{4-}$$\delta$/는 약 30$0^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서 온실가스중 하나인 $CO_2$를 C와 $O_2$로 분해시킨다. 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$분해 촉매로서 3원계 초미세 페라이트 N $i_{x}$Z $n_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_4$와 N $i_{x}$ $Co_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_4$를 수열합성법과 공침법 등의 습식 합성법으로 각각 합성하여 이들 분말의 특성과 $CO_2$분해 특성을 고찰하였다. 페라이트의 XRD 결과, 결정구조는 모두 전형적인 스피넬 구조로 동일하게 나타났다. BET 비표면적은 수열합성법으로 제조한 3원계 페라이트의 경우 110$m^2$/g 이상으로 공침법으로 제조한 페라이트보다 비교적 큰 값을 나타냈고 분말 입자크기 또한 약 10nm의 매우 미세한 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 3원계 산소 결핍 페라이트의 $CO_2$분해 효율은 공침법으로 합성한 것보다 수열합성법으로 합성한 것이 더 우수하게 나타났으며, N $i_{x}$ $Co_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_{4-}$$\delta$/보다 N $i_{x}$Z $n_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_{4-}$$\delta$/가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The systematic variation of complex permeability and complex permittivity and their relationship with micro-wave absorbing properties are investigated in sintered Ni-Zn ferrites of non-stoichiometric composition. The specirrens of ${(Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O)}_{1-x}(Fe_{2}O_{3})_{1+x}$ spinels were prepared by a conventional ceramic processing technique. In the present study. complex permeability and permittivity can be controlled by the variation of ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ contents in the spinel lattice. The primary effect of the excess ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ is to increase the dielectric constant. while the notable decrease of magnetic loss is observed in the iron-deficient ferrites. The results suggest that the matching fre-queocyand matching thickness could be controlled by the variation of ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ contents in the Ni-Zn ferrite.
