Abstract

Mn-Zn ferrites doped with Gd3+, Mn0.3Zn 0.7Fe2-xGdA(x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04), were synthesized by polymer adsorbent combustion method. Samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and network analyzer to investigate the dependence of electromagnetic properties on phase structure and Gd3+ doping amount. The results show that pure Mn-Zn ferrites are formed when x ≤ 0.02. The lattice parameters of ferrites first increase and then decrease with the substitution amount of Gd3+. A small amount of Gd3+ substitution could adjust microwave electromagnetic parameters. The peak value of the microwave electromagnetic loss is about -18.7 dB when x=0.02.
