Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an enhanced resonant frequency hexagonal ferrite material, such as Y-phase hexagonal ferrite material, and methods of manufacturing. In some embodiments, sodium or potassium can be added into the crystal structure of the hexagonal ferrite material in order to achieve improved resonant frequencies in the range of 500 MHz to 1 GHz useful for radiofrequency applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for increasing the resonant frequency of a hexagonal ferrite material, the method comprising: providing a Y phase hexagonal ferrite material having the composition Sr 2 Co 2 Fe 12 O 22 ; and doping the hexagonal ferrite with Na, K or other univalent alkali metal on an Sr site and charge compensating with scandium or indium on a cobalt site. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the hexagonal ferrite material is doped with silicon, aluminum, manganese, or any combination of the three. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the hexagonal ferrite is doped with silicon acting as a grain growth inhibitor. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the hexagonal ferrite is doped with manganese, preventing reduction of the iron in the composition to Fe 3+ . 5. The method of claim 1 wherein scandium is used for charge compensating. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein indium is used for charge compensating. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the hexagonal ferrite has a loss factor of less than about 6 at a frequency of 1 GHz. 8. A hexagonal ferrite material having enhanced resonant frequency comprising: a Y phase hexagonal ferrite material having the composition Sr 2 Co 2 Fe 12 O 22 , the material being doped with Na, K or other univalent alkali metal on an Sr site and including scandium or indium on a cobalt site. 9. The hexagonal ferrite material of claim 8 wherein the hexagonal ferrite material is doped with silicon, aluminum, manganese, or any combination of the three. 10. The hexagonal ferrite material of claim 8 wherein the hexagonal ferrite is doped with silicon acting as a grain growth inhibitor. 11. The hexagonal ferrite material of claim 8 wherein the hexagonal ferrite is doped with manganese preventing reduction of the iron in the composition to Fe 3+ . 12. The hexagonal ferrite material of claim 8 wherein scandium is used for charge compensating. 13. The hexagonal ferrite material of claim 8 wherein indium is used for charge compensating. 14. The hexagonal ferrite material of claim 8 wherein the hexagonal ferrite has a loss factor of less than about 6 at a frequency of 1 GHz. 15. A radiofrequency device comprising: a Y phase hexagonal ferrite material having the composition Sr 2 Co 2 Fe 12 O 22 , the material being doped with Na, K or other univalent alkali metal on an Sr site and including scandium or indium on a cobalt site. 16. The radiofrequency device of claim 15 wherein the hexagonal ferrite material is doped with silicon, aluminum, manganese, or any combination of the three. 17. The radiofrequency device of claim 15 wherein scandium is used for charge compensating. 18. The radiofrequency device of claim 15 wherein indium is used for charge compensating. 19. The radiofrequency device of claim 15 wherein the hexagonal ferrite has a loss factor of less than about 6 at a frequency of 1 GHz. 20. The radiofrequency device of claim 15 wherein the device is an antenna.
