Abstract:
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time compact ferrite ceramics with giant coercivity. The materials are manufactured via sintering single-domain Sr0.67Ca0.33Fe8Al4O19 particles synthesized by a citrate-nitrate auto-combustion method. The obtained ceramics show coercivities up to 22.5 kOe and natural ferromagnetic resonance frequencies (NFMR) in a sub-THz range of 160-282 GHz. At a maximum density of 95%, the sample displays coercivity of 18.5 kOe, which is the highest value among dense ferrite materials reported so far. In addition, we report an unusual blueshift of the NFMR frequency from 160 to 200 GHz, which occurs during material sintering.

Ferromagnetism
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
