Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an enhanced resonant frequency hexagonal ferrite material and methods of manufacturing. The hexagonal ferrite material can be Y-phase hexagonal ferrite material, such as those including strontium. In some embodiments, oxides consistent with the stoichiometry of Sr 3 Co 2 Fe 24 O 41 , SrFe 12 O 19 or CoFe 2 O 4 can be used form an enhanced hexagonal ferrite material.
