Chemical Aspects of Ferrites

Abstract

Thus far, we have discussed the important electrical and magnetic properties useful in describing ferrites. To obtain the desired properties, it is a difficult, if not hopeless, task for the designer of ferrite materials to depend strictly on random magnetic testing for these properties in the search for the optimum material. It is much more fruitful to correlate these properties with the relevant chemical and ceramic characteristics and by controlling these characteristics, to have a better method of reproducing the material. The next two sections will focus on the examination of these correlations and in the following chapter, we will try to apply what we have learned to the processing of these materials. Through our increased knowledge of these correlation factors and because of the availability of more sophisticated means of measuring these properties, improved and more reproducible materials have been developed.
