Tunable sub-terahertz resonance absorption in high-coercivity magnetodielectric ceramics

Recently, giant coercivities (20-42 kOe) and sub-terahertz natural ferromagnetic resonance (NFMR) at 100-300 GHz were observed for single-domain M-type hexaferrite particles with high aluminum substitution. Herein, we fabricated dense ceramics of Sr 0.67 Ca 0.33 Fe 8 Al 4 O 19 and, for the first time, investigated their magnetostatic and magnetodynamic properties in the temperature range of 5-300 K. It was shown that dense ceramics maintain their high magnetic hardness (a coercivity of 10-20 kOe) and NFMR frequencies of 140-200 GHz durably in the entire temperature range. Magnetizing the initially non-magnetized ceramics leads to a considerable decrease in the resonance absorption and to almost complete vanishing of the resonance line at 5 kOe. At the same time, an efficient linear frequency tuning by the external magnetic field was observed for the remanent sample. These findings open new horizons for developing industrial terahertz electronics based on dielectric ferrimagnets. Dense ceramics of Al-substituted hexaferrites demonstrate robust, intensive, and highly magnetic field-sensitive ferromagnetic resonance absorption at 5-300 K.
