ABSTRACT
Ferrites are the unique magnetic materials which that exhibit electrical as well as magnetic properties and
hence are commercially and scientifically important magnetic material . A brief introduction to various
types of ferrites materials is explained herein. The chemical composition of ferrites including spinel type,
garnet type and hexagaonal type is given in this review. The most interesting applications in electronic
devices High frequency devices and in biotechnology are discussed. Since its discovery in 1950,
hexaferrite has an increasing degree of interest and is still growing exponentially. Hexaferrites are the
extremely important material both commercially and technologically and it accounts for the bulk of the
total magnetic materials manufactured globally. Hence the classification of Hexaferrite is discussed in
detail in this review.
.
1.INTRODUCTION
Ferrimagnetic materials or ferrite materials have
incomplete cancellation of the magnetic dipoles
in a domain that results in lower permanent
magnetization; it is the sum of the
magnetizations of the domains.
Ferrites are normally ferromagnetic- non
conductive compounds of ceramics derived
from iron and also from oxides of other metals.
Based on the crystal structure and compositions,
ferrites are classified as spinel, garnet and
hexaferrite.
2.CLASSIFICATION OF FERRITES
Table 1.1 represents types of ferrites
with their crystal structure, general formula and
replacements. Ferrites are classified according
to magnetic properties and their crystal
structure.
2.1 CLASSIFICATION BASED ON
MAGNETIC PROPERTIES
Ferrites are often classified as "soft" and "hard"
which refers to their low or high coercivity of
their magnetism, respectively.
2.1.1 Soft ferrites
Soft ferrites are ferrimagnetic materials with
cubic crystal structure and they are
characterized by chemical formula MO·Fe2O3,
where M is a transition metal ionslike Iron,
Nickel, Manganese or Zinc. Soft
magnetic material is one that can be both easily
magnetized and demagnetized, so that it can
store or transfer magnetic energy in alternating
or other changing wave forms (sine,

pulse, square, etc). At high frequency metallic
soft magnetic materials simply cannot be used
due to the eddy current losses. Therefore, soft
ferrites, which are ceramic insulators, become
the most desirable material for example in

telephone signal transmitters and receivers
and in switch mode power supplies (referred as
DC-DC converters). For such type of
application the driving force to increase
frequency is to allow miniaturization.
2.1.2 Hard ferrites
Permanent ferrite magnets are made up of hard
ferrites, which have a high coercivity and high
remenance after magnetization.
These ferrites are composed of iron and barium
/ strontium oxides. They conduct magnetic flux
In a magnetically saturated state and they have
a high magnetic permeability. Because of this
property these ceramics to store stronger
magnetic fields than iron . Ferrites are cheap,
and are widely used in refrigerator magnets
and other household products ..
The hexagonalferrite structure is found in both
BaO·6 Fe2O3 and SrO·6 Fe2O3, but Sr-M
hexaferritehas slightly superior magnetic
properties.
2.1.3 Spinel ferrites
Spinel ferrite crystallizes in the cubic structure.
The spinel lattice is composed of a close-
packed oxygen anions arrangement in which
32 oxygen ions form the unit cell (the smallest
repeating unit in the crystal network).These
anions are packed in a face centred cubic
(FCC) arrangement leaving two kinds of
spaces between anions: tetrahedrally
coordinated sites (A),surrounded by four
nearest oxygen atoms, and octahedrally
coordinated sites (B), surrounded by six
nearest neighbor oxygen atoms (Figure 1.3).
There are total 64 tetrahedral sites and 32
octahedral sites in the unit cell, of which only
8 tetrahedral sites and 16 octahedral sites are
occupied, resulting ina structure that is
electrically neutral (Pieper et al 2002).
Although most spinel ferrites are cubic, there
are some exceptions likeCu Fe2O4 that can
have tetragonal unit cell symmetry if the
sample is slowly cooled from high
temperatures. There exists a super exchange
interaction between the cationsoccupied in
different interstitial sites through oxygen anion
Figure 1.3 (a) Spinel structure, (b) octahedral interstice
(B site: 32 per unit cell,16 occupied), and (c)
tetrahedral interstice (A site: 64 per unit cell, 8
occupied)
Figure 1.4 Spinel unit cell structure
2.1.4 Garnet ferrites
The garnet structure is one of the most
complicated crystal structures and it is difficult
to draw a two dimensional representation that
shows clearly all theions (160) in the unit cell.
For simplicity, only an octant of a garnet
structure that shows just the cation positions is
shown in Figure 1.5.
The garnet structure iscomposed of a
combination of octahedral (trivalent cation
surrounded by six oxygen ions), tetrahedral
(trivalent cations surrounded by four oxygen
ions), and 12-sidedpolyhedral - dodecahedral -
(trivalent cations surrounded by 8 oxygen
atoms) sites, the orientations of which are
shown in Figure 1.6 (a) (Collomb et al 1986,

Handley 2000).
The chemical formula for garnets is
3Me2O3·5Fe2O3 where Me represents the
trivalent rare earth ions like nonmagnetic
yttrium or a magnetic rare earth such as from
lanthanum through ytterbium (Valenzuela
2012). Yttrium based garnets are used in
microwave devices and thin mono crystalline
films of complex garnets have been developed
for bubble domain memory devices.

‘octant’ of a garnet crystal structure (lattice
constant ‘a’) showing cation positions.
Figure 1.6 (a) An ‘octant’ of a garnet crystal
structure (b) Unit cell of a rare earth
garnetFigure 1.6 (b) shows a unit cell of rare
earth garnet.
2.1.5 Ortho ferrite structure
Rare earth ortho ferrites are classified as
ferrites, although they are
cantedantiferromagnets.
The magnetic oxides with perovskite structure,
which have been studied by Jonker and Van
Santen (Kools et al. 2002) are an exception in
the group of oxides. The perovskite structure is
shown schematically in Figure 1.7. Large
divalent or tri valent ions (A) occupy the
corners of a cube and small trivalent or
tetravalent metal ions (B)occupy the centre of
the cube.
The oxygen ions are situated centrally
on the faces of the cube. The general chemical
formula is ABO3, where A represents yttrium
or a rare-earth.
Figure 1.7 A Perovskite structure of an
orthoferrite
The magnetic structure inside of a sublattice is
usually collinearferromagnetic, but the
different sublattices are coupled anti-ferro
magnetically. Due to the different number of
magnetic ions in differen tmagnetic moment,
gives rise to ferrimagnetism. The nature of the
superexchangeinteraction depends not only on
the type of the magnetic ion, but rather
strongly onthe bond length and bonding angle.
This makes it possible type of the super
exchange interaction

structure in hexagonal. Thus, it has a major
preferred axis called the‘c’-axis and a minor
axis called theá’-axis. The preferred direction
is used as a permanent magnet material.
The oxygen ions are closely packed as they are
in the spinel structure but there are oxygen
layers which now include theBa2+, Sr2+ or
Pb2+ ions which have about the same ionic
radii as the oxygen ions and therefore can
replace them in the lattice.
2.2..2 CLASSIFICATION OF
HEXAFERRITES
Several related ferromagnetic oxides are also
available all of which can be derived by
combining the ferrite spinel(MeO· Fe2O3)and
ferroxdure (BaO·6- Fe2O3) using the chemical
composition diagram shown in Figure 1.8. The
same with chemical formula for each type,
namely M,Y, W, Z, X and U, is given in Table
1.2 (Fiorillo 2010).
Hexaferrites are classified according to
magnetic properties and their crystal structure.
They are explained as follows:
(i) M-type hexaferrite: Magneto plumbite-
structured ferrites having a generic
formulaMO·6Fe2O3, where M represents
divalent ions such as Ba2+, Sr2+, or Pb2+. It
hashexagonal structure composed of stacked
spinel ionic layers with interspaced ionic
layers of M2+
, O2-
, and Fe. These types of
oxide ferrites have extensive magneto
crystallineanisotropy due to their low crystal
symmetry. The magnetoplumbite contains a
total of ten layers, two of which contain the
Ba2+
: four layers of fou roxygen ions each;
followed by a layer of three oxygen ions and
one Ba2+
ion; again followed by four layers of
four oxygen as having ions each; and another
layer containing three oxygen and one Ba2+
ion
but situated diametrically opposite to theBa2+
ion in the previous layer containing Ba2+
. The
Fe3+
ions are located in the interstices of these
ten layers. There are octahedral and tetrahedral
sites plus one more type not found in the spinel
structure in which the metal ion is surrounded
by 5oxygen ions forming a trigonal bi-
pyramid in the same layer as the Ba2+
ion.

indicates that the corresponding sub-unit is
rotated 180 º around the hexagonal axis.
Figure 1.9 (a) shows the schematic crystal
structure of M-type hexaferritesSrFe12O19/
BaFe12O19. The M-type ferrite crystallizes in a
hexagonal structure with 64ions per unit cell
on 11 different symmetry sites (P63/mmc
space group). The structure of M-type
hexagonal is stacked alternatively by spinel (S
= Fe6O8
2+
) and hexagonal(R = MFe6O11
2-
)
layers. The O2-
ions exist as close-packed
layers, with M2+
substituting for an O2-
in the
hexagonal layer. The three parallel (2a, 12k
and 2b) and two anti-parallel (4f1 and 4f2)
sub-lattices, which are coupled by super
exchange interactions through the O2-
ions,
form the ferrimagnetic structure (Fiorillo et al
2010). A schematic M type structural
representation and the surroundings of five
Fe3+
sites are shown in are shown in Figure 1.9
(b) by Collomb et al. (Liua et al. 2006)
The 24 Fe3+
atoms are distributed
over five distinct sites: three octahedral
sites(12k, 2a and 4f2), one tetrahedral (4f1)
site and one hexahedral (trigonal
bipyramidal)site (2b).The arrows on Fe ions
represent the direction of spin polarization.

The unit cell contains a total of 38 O2-
ions, 2
Sr2+
ions, and 24 Fe3+
ions. Fe3+
ions in 12k,
2a,and 2b sites (16 total per unit cell) have
their spins up, while the Fe3+ ions in 4f1
and4f2 sites (8 total per unit cell) have their
spins down, which results in a net total of
8spins up, and therefore, a total moment of 8 x
5 μB = 40 μB per unit cell that contains two
Sr2+
ions. The asterix (*) indicates that the
corresponding sub-unit is rotated 180°around
the hexagonal axis.
Figure 1.9 (a) The crystal structure of M-
type hexagonal and (b) BaFe12O19 along
with five Fe sites with their surroundings.
Strontium ferrite is almost identical to
BaFe12O19 in its crystallographic structure and
magnetic properties, except that the sintered
magnets generally have higher coercivity. The
magnetic moments of the iron ions (Fe3+)
which lie along the c axis are coupled to each
other by a super exchange interaction. The
angle between the ferric cations and oxygen in
Fe-O-Fe bonds determines their anti-
ferromagnetism (i.e. ,larger exchange for
larger angles). The ferromagnetic resonance
(FMR) line width for a single crystal is
reported to range from 10 to 20 Oe(Musat et al.
2010).
(ii) Y-type hexaferrite: The Me2Y (Y-type)
hexaferrite contains different combination of
barium layers and spinel blocks. The unit cell
is composed of these quence STSTST
including three formula units. In Y-type
structure, tetrahedral and octahedral sites are
occupied by metal ions. However, the Me2Y
has a preferred planewhich is perpendicular to
the c-axis in which the magnetization can
move freely soMe2Y hexaferrites cannot be
used as a permanent magnets. Figure 1.11 (b)
shows the unit cell cross-section of Y-type
hexaferrite and Figure 1.10 (a) represents the
polyhedra of Y-type.

(iii) W-Type hexaferrite: The Me2W (W-type)
hexaferrite exhibits a magnetic
uniaxial anisotropy along the c-axis of the
hexagonal structure as in the case of the M-
type hexaferrite. The unit cell of W-type is
composed of the sequence RSSR*S*S*.There
is a 180° rotation between R-R* and S-S*
blocks around c-axis. The W structure consists
of one Ba containing layer for every seventh
oxygen layer of thespinel structure and is thus
closely related to the M structure. Substitution

ions paves the way for changing the saturation
magnetization and Néel temperature of the W
hexaferrite. Figure 1.10 (b) showspolyhedral
representation of W-type hexaferrite.
(iv) Z-type hexaferrite: Me2Z (Z-type) being
the sum of M and Y compounds, it is
somewhat different in that the M portion
attempts to cause a preferential direction along
the c-axis while the Y portion attempts to
cause planar anisotropy in the plane
perpendicular to the c-axis. Figure 1.11 (c)
shows unit cell cross sections of Z-type
hexaferrites.
(v) X-type hexaferrite: X-type hexaferrites
constructed as stack of hexagona lR-block and
spinel S-block along the hexagonal c-axis with
a model as RSR*S*S*,with the (*) indicating
the rotation of corresponding block by 180 °
around thec-axis. The structure of X-type
compound is closely related to that of M and
W type. The X-type hexaferrite can be
constructed by X = 2 M + S as seen from
Figure 1.8.
(vi) U-type hexaferrite: U-type hexaferrite
having general formula Ba4Me2Fe36O60with
Me a bivalent transition metal ions, is very
difficult to prepare in single phase condition
owing to their complex crystalline structure. It
can be constructed byU = 2 M + Y as indicated
in Table 1.1.Hexaferrites are widely used as
permanent magnets and are characterized by
possessing a high coercivity (Hadley 1999).
Their general formula is A2+
Fe12
3+
O19 where A
can be Ba, Sr, or Pb. The hexaferrite lattice is
similar to the spinel structure, with the oxygen
ions closely packed, but some layers include
metal ions, which have practically the same
ionic radii as the oxygen ions. This lattice has
three different sites occupied by
metals:tetrahedral, octahedral, and trigonal bi
pyramid (surrounded by five oxygen ions).

3.APPLICATION OF FERRITES
The applications of ferrites is mainly based
upon their basic properties of ferrites such as
good chemical stability, pronounced saturation
magnetization, a high electrical resistivity, and
low electrical losses. Ferrites can be prepared
by many methods, and the viability to prepare
a large number of solid solutions opens the
means to modify their properties for many
required applications.
The prospects of preparing ferrite
nanoparticles has opened a new research field,
with innovative applications in the field of
electronics and biotechnology (Miclea et al.
2005). Ferrite magnets have the advantages of
simple production technology and low cost.
Ferrite magnets have modest magnetic
performance compared to the other main
commercial magnet materials.
Hexagonal ferrites such as BaFe12O19,
SrFe12O19 are currently employed in many
different sectors as permanent magnets. The
main application for high-grade ferrite magnets
is as segments in various DC motors for the
automotive industry (Boon et al 2012,
Kumbhar et al. 2010 &Tsakaloudi 2007).

3.1 Electronic devices
There are tremendous applications in
electrical and electronic sector. Some of the
applications are listed below:
 In power supplies ferrites are applied
in input filters, as inductors for
resonant circuits and as output
chokes.
 Primarily ferrites are used as
inductive components in electronic
circuits like voltage-controlled
oscillators, low noise amplifiers and
impedance matching networks,
 Sensors based on nickel ferrites (Ni1-
xZnxFe2O4 with x = 1 to 0.5) / lead
zirconate-titanate (PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3)
have shown excellent performance.
 Hexaferrites represent an interesting
material for EMI (Electromagnetic
interference) suppressor components.
 Ferrite has been extensively used in
many electronic chip devices because
of high permeability in MHz ranges,
high electrical resistivity and
excellent chemical stability.
 Spinel ferrites, MFe2O4 (M= Ni2+
,
Co2+
, Cu2+
etc.) are the important
materials in electronic material
industries which include antenna rod,
transformer core, recording head,
loading coil, memory and microwave
devices etc.
 Due to their high rate of change of
permeability with temperature, soft
ferrites of MnCu, NiZn and MnZn
are used for magnetic temperature
sensors.
SMPS (switching-mode power supply)-
transformer is normally made with magnetic
materials, like Mn-Zn ferrite and Co-type
amorphous soft magnetic materials (S. Chang
et al. 2012, U. Ozguri et al. 2009 & V.G.
Harris et al. 2009).
3.2 Microwave devices
Study on the Microwave absorbers is the
recent topic of interest due to increased use in
aircraft, ship, microwave darkroom, anti-
electromagnetic interference coating,
microwave thermal seed materials, etc.
Ferrites are the choice materials for microwave
applications. Barium hexaferrites, which
possess large saturation magnetization and
high natural resonance frequency, have been
well known as special kinds of absorbing
materials.
Ferrite nanoparticles in combination with
carbon nanotubes (CoFe2O4 spinel
nanocomposite) can efficiently absorb
microwave radiation (T. Tanaka et al. 2009
&M. Tada et al. 2009). 1.5.4.3 High frequency
devices Eddy current losses are usually high
and increase with the square of the frequency
In devices for high frequency applications.
These losses are inversely proportional to the
resistivity. Therefore the high resistivity of the
ferrites is the major factor for its wide
application in high frequency magnetic
components such as telecommunications and
radar systems.
NiZn ferrite has attracted a great deal of
interest due its promising electromagnetic
properties for application in high frequency
devices. (J. Giria et al. 2008).
3.3 Bioscience In recent years, nanomagnetic
particles have generated a lot of attention in
the biomedical applications like MRI
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) contrast
enhancement, magnetic separation,
hyperthermia, tissue repair, immunoassays,
and detoxification of biological fluids, drug
delivery, and cell separation techniques.
Among the different magnetic oxides, Fe3O4
and á-Fe2O3 particles have been extensively
studied as they are known to be biocompatible
within certain threshold limits. Thermal energy
from hysteresis loss of ferrites is suitable for
heating of specific tissues or organs. This
principle is used in for treatment of cancer.
The unique characteristics of spinel ferrite
nanoparticles such as chemical stability,
appropriate self-heating temperature-rising
characteristics, and a high biological
compatibility place this as a promising
materials for hyperthermia.

Magnetic nanoparticles in the form of
ferrofluid is most suitable for biological
applications is ferrofluid. MnxZn 1-x Fe2O4
ferrites are among the most temperature
sensitive mixed ferrites and are used to prepare
magnetic fluids in polar and non-polar solvents
(Bean, Livingston 1959, Dino Fiorani 2005
&Gueron et al. 1999).
4. CONCLUSION
Ferrites are ceramic materials and suitable for
the high-frequency operation Ferrites are
highly developed prominent materials with
suitable for applications ranging from hard
magnets to magnetic recording and to
microwave devices. The advances in
applications and fabrication technologies in the
recent years is enormous
Though bulk ferrites continue to be the main
magnetic materials for various applications,
nanostructured ferrites show a remarkable
choice for applications in significantly wider
fields. The applications of nanostructured
ferrites will be reviewed in our next article.

A REVIEW ON FERRITES – ITS CLASSIFICATION AND APPLICATIONS

  • 1. International Journal of Trendy Research in Engineering and Technology Volume 3 Issue 6 December 2019 ISSN NO 2582-0958 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ www.trendytechjournals.com 5 A REVIEW ON FERRITES – ITS CLASSIFICATION AND APPLICATIONS K. Alamelu mangai , Associate Professor,Department of Physics, Vel Tech High Tech Dr. Rangarajan Dr. Sakunthala Engg. College, Avadi, Chennai, India. ABSTRACT Ferrites are the unique magnetic materials which that exhibit electrical as well as magnetic properties and hence are commercially and scientifically important magnetic material . A brief introduction to various types of ferrites materials is explained herein. The chemical composition of ferrites including spinel type, garnet type and hexagaonal type is given in this review. The most interesting applications in electronic devices High frequency devices and in biotechnology are discussed. Since its discovery in 1950, hexaferrite has an increasing degree of interest and is still growing exponentially. Hexaferrites are the extremely important material both commercially and technologically and it accounts for the bulk of the total magnetic materials manufactured globally. Hence the classification of Hexaferrite is discussed in detail in this review. . 1.INTRODUCTION Ferrimagnetic materials or ferrite materials have incomplete cancellation of the magnetic dipoles in a domain that results in lower permanent magnetization; it is the sum of the magnetizations of the domains. Ferrites are normally ferromagnetic- non conductive compounds of ceramics derived from iron and also from oxides of other metals. Based on the crystal structure and compositions, ferrites are classified as spinel, garnet and hexaferrite. 2.CLASSIFICATION OF FERRITES Table 1.1 represents types of ferrites with their crystal structure, general formula and replacements. Ferrites are classified according to magnetic properties and their crystal structure. 2.1 CLASSIFICATION BASED ON MAGNETIC PROPERTIES Ferrites are often classified as "soft" and "hard" which refers to their low or high coercivity of their magnetism, respectively. 2.1.1 Soft ferrites Soft ferrites are ferrimagnetic materials with cubic crystal structure and they are characterized by chemical formula MO·Fe2O3, where M is a transition metal ionslike Iron, Nickel, Manganese or Zinc. Soft magnetic material is one that can be both easily magnetized and demagnetized, so that it can store or transfer magnetic energy in alternating or other changing wave forms (sine, Table 1.1 Ferrites with their structures and general formula Sl.

At high frequency metallic soft magnetic materials simply cannot be used due to the eddy current losses. Therefore, soft ferrites, which are ceramic insulators, become the most desirable material for example in

For such type of application the driving force to increase frequency is to allow miniaturization. 2.1.2 Hard ferrites Permanent ferrite magnets are made up of hard ferrites, which have a high coercivity and high remenance after magnetization. These ferrites are composed of iron and barium / strontium oxides. They conduct magnetic flux In a magnetically saturated state and they have a high magnetic permeability. Because of this property these ceramics to store stronger magnetic fields than iron . Ferrites are cheap, and are widely used in refrigerator magnets and other household products .. The hexagonalferrite structure is found in both BaO·6 Fe2O3 and SrO·6 Fe2O3, but Sr-M hexaferritehas slightly superior magnetic properties. 2.1.3 Spinel ferrites Spinel ferrite crystallizes in the cubic structure. The spinel lattice is composed of a close- packed oxygen anions arrangement in which 32 oxygen ions form the unit cell (the smallest repeating unit in the crystal network).These anions are packed in a face centred cubic (FCC) arrangement leaving two kinds of spaces between anions: tetrahedrally coordinated sites (A),surrounded by four nearest oxygen atoms, and octahedrally coordinated sites (B), surrounded by six nearest neighbor oxygen atoms (Figure 1.3). There are total 64 tetrahedral sites and 32 octahedral sites in the unit cell, of which only 8 tetrahedral sites and 16 octahedral sites are occupied, resulting ina structure that is electrically neutral (Pieper et al 2002). Although most spinel ferrites are cubic, there are some exceptions likeCu Fe2O4 that can have tetragonal unit cell symmetry if the sample is slowly cooled from high temperatures. There exists a super exchange interaction between the cationsoccupied in different interstitial sites through oxygen anion Figure 1.3 (a) Spinel structure, (b) octahedral interstice (B site: 32 per unit cell,16 occupied), and (c) tetrahedral interstice (A site: 64 per unit cell, 8 occupied) Figure 1.4 Spinel unit cell structure 2.1.4 Garnet ferrites The garnet structure is one of the most complicated crystal structures and it is difficult to draw a two dimensional representation that shows clearly all theions (160) in the unit cell. For simplicity, only an octant of a garnet structure that shows just the cation positions is shown in Figure 1.5. The garnet structure iscomposed of a combination of octahedral (trivalent cation surrounded by six oxygen ions), tetrahedral (trivalent cations surrounded by four oxygen ions), and 12-sidedpolyhedral - dodecahedral - (trivalent cations surrounded by 8 oxygen atoms) sites, the orientations of which are shown in Figure 1.6 (a) (Collomb et al 1986,

The chemical formula for garnets is 3Me2O3·5Fe2O3 where Me represents the trivalent rare earth ions like nonmagnetic yttrium or a magnetic rare earth such as from lanthanum through ytterbium (Valenzuela 2012). Yttrium based garnets are used in microwave devices and thin mono crystalline films of complex garnets have been developed for bubble domain memory devices.

Figure 1.6 (a) An ‘octant’ of a garnet crystal structure (b) Unit cell of a rare earth garnetFigure 1.6 (b) shows a unit cell of rare earth garnet. 2.1.5 Ortho ferrite structure Rare earth ortho ferrites are classified as ferrites, although they are cantedantiferromagnets. The magnetic oxides with perovskite structure, which have been studied by Jonker and Van Santen (Kools et al. 2002) are an exception in the group of oxides. The perovskite structure is shown schematically in Figure 1.7. Large divalent or tri valent ions (A) occupy the corners of a cube and small trivalent or tetravalent metal ions (B)occupy the centre of the cube. The oxygen ions are situated centrally on the faces of the cube. The general chemical formula is ABO3, where A represents yttrium or a rare-earth. Figure 1.7 A Perovskite structure of an orthoferrite The magnetic structure inside of a sublattice is usually collinearferromagnetic, but the different sublattices are coupled anti-ferro magnetically. Due to the different number of magnetic ions in differen tmagnetic moment, gives rise to ferrimagnetism. The nature of the superexchangeinteraction depends not only on the type of the magnetic ion, but rather strongly onthe bond length and bonding angle. This makes it possible type of the super exchange interaction 2.2.Hexaferrites Figure 1.8 Chemical compositional BaO-MeO- Fe2O3 ternary phase diagram showing how the different hexagonal ferrites are derived Hexaferrite possesses magneto plumbite

Thus, it has a major preferred axis called the‘c’-axis and a minor axis called theá’-axis. The preferred direction is used as a permanent magnet material. The oxygen ions are closely packed as they are in the spinel structure but there are oxygen layers which now include theBa2+, Sr2+ or Pb2+ ions which have about the same ionic radii as the oxygen ions and therefore can replace them in the lattice. 2.2..2 CLASSIFICATION OF HEXAFERRITES Several related ferromagnetic oxides are also available all of which can be derived by combining the ferrite spinel(MeO· Fe2O3)and ferroxdure (BaO·6- Fe2O3) using the chemical composition diagram shown in Figure 1.8. The same with chemical formula for each type, namely M,Y, W, Z, X and U, is given in Table 1.2 (Fiorillo 2010). Hexaferrites are classified according to magnetic properties and their crystal structure. They are explained as follows: (i) M-type hexaferrite: Magneto plumbite- structured ferrites having a generic formulaMO·6Fe2O3, where M represents divalent ions such as Ba2+, Sr2+, or Pb2+. It hashexagonal structure composed of stacked spinel ionic layers with interspaced ionic layers of M2+ , O2- , and Fe. These types of oxide ferrites have extensive magneto crystallineanisotropy due to their low crystal symmetry. The magnetoplumbite contains a total of ten layers, two of which contain the Ba2+ : four layers of fou roxygen ions each; followed by a layer of three oxygen ions and one Ba2+ ion; again followed by four layers of four oxygen as having ions each; and another layer containing three oxygen and one Ba2+ ion but situated diametrically opposite to theBa2+ ion in the previous layer containing Ba2+ . The Fe3+ ions are located in the interstices of these ten layers. There are octahedral and tetrahedral sites plus one more type not found in the spinel structure in which the metal ion is surrounded by 5oxygen ions forming a trigonal bi- pyramid in the same layer as the Ba2+ ion.

The asterix (*) indicates that the corresponding sub-unit is rotated 180 º around the hexagonal axis. Figure 1.9 (a) shows the schematic crystal structure of M-type hexaferritesSrFe12O19/ BaFe12O19. The M-type ferrite crystallizes in a hexagonal structure with 64ions per unit cell on 11 different symmetry sites (P63/mmc space group). The structure of M-type hexagonal is stacked alternatively by spinel (S = Fe6O8 2+ ) and hexagonal(R = MFe6O11 2- ) layers. The O2- ions exist as close-packed layers, with M2+ substituting for an O2- in the hexagonal layer. The three parallel (2a, 12k and 2b) and two anti-parallel (4f1 and 4f2) sub-lattices, which are coupled by super exchange interactions through the O2- ions, form the ferrimagnetic structure (Fiorillo et al 2010). A schematic M type structural representation and the surroundings of five Fe3+ sites are shown in are shown in Figure 1.9 (b) by Collomb et al. (Liua et al. 2006) The 24 Fe3+ atoms are distributed over five distinct sites: three octahedral sites(12k, 2a and 4f2), one tetrahedral (4f1) site and one hexahedral (trigonal bipyramidal)site (2b).The arrows on Fe ions represent the direction of spin polarization.

Fe3+ ions in 12k, 2a,and 2b sites (16 total per unit cell) have their spins up, while the Fe3+ ions in 4f1 and4f2 sites (8 total per unit cell) have their spins down, which results in a net total of 8spins up, and therefore, a total moment of 8 x 5 μB = 40 μB per unit cell that contains two Sr2+ ions. The asterix (*) indicates that the corresponding sub-unit is rotated 180°around the hexagonal axis. Figure 1.9 (a) The crystal structure of M- type hexagonal and (b) BaFe12O19 along with five Fe sites with their surroundings. Strontium ferrite is almost identical to BaFe12O19 in its crystallographic structure and magnetic properties, except that the sintered magnets generally have higher coercivity. The magnetic moments of the iron ions (Fe3+) which lie along the c axis are coupled to each other by a super exchange interaction. The angle between the ferric cations and oxygen in Fe-O-Fe bonds determines their anti- ferromagnetism (i.e. ,larger exchange for larger angles). The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) line width for a single crystal is reported to range from 10 to 20 Oe(Musat et al. 2010). (ii) Y-type hexaferrite: The Me2Y (Y-type) hexaferrite contains different combination of barium layers and spinel blocks. The unit cell is composed of these quence STSTST including three formula units. In Y-type structure, tetrahedral and octahedral sites are occupied by metal ions. However, the Me2Y has a preferred planewhich is perpendicular to the c-axis in which the magnetization can move freely soMe2Y hexaferrites cannot be used as a permanent magnets. Figure 1.11 (b) shows the unit cell cross-section of Y-type hexaferrite and Figure 1.10 (a) represents the polyhedra of Y-type.

Me1 – Me7 denote the different polyhedral (iii) W-Type hexaferrite: The Me2W (W-type) hexaferrite exhibits a magnetic uniaxial anisotropy along the c-axis of the hexagonal structure as in the case of the M- type hexaferrite. The unit cell of W-type is composed of the sequence RSSR*S*S*.There is a 180° rotation between R-R* and S-S* blocks around c-axis. The W structure consists of one Ba containing layer for every seventh oxygen layer of thespinel structure and is thus closely related to the M structure. Substitution of different combinations of divalent metal

Figure 1.10 (b) showspolyhedral representation of W-type hexaferrite. (iv) Z-type hexaferrite: Me2Z (Z-type) being the sum of M and Y compounds, it is somewhat different in that the M portion attempts to cause a preferential direction along the c-axis while the Y portion attempts to cause planar anisotropy in the plane perpendicular to the c-axis. Figure 1.11 (c) shows unit cell cross sections of Z-type hexaferrites. (v) X-type hexaferrite: X-type hexaferrites constructed as stack of hexagona lR-block and spinel S-block along the hexagonal c-axis with a model as RSR*S*S*,with the (*) indicating the rotation of corresponding block by 180 ° around thec-axis. The structure of X-type compound is closely related to that of M and W type. The X-type hexaferrite can be constructed by X = 2 M + S as seen from Figure 1.8. (vi) U-type hexaferrite: U-type hexaferrite having general formula Ba4Me2Fe36O60with Me a bivalent transition metal ions, is very difficult to prepare in single phase condition owing to their complex crystalline structure. It can be constructed byU = 2 M + Y as indicated in Table 1.1.Hexaferrites are widely used as permanent magnets and are characterized by possessing a high coercivity (Hadley 1999). Their general formula is A2+ Fe12 3+ O19 where A can be Ba, Sr, or Pb. The hexaferrite lattice is similar to the spinel structure, with the oxygen ions closely packed, but some layers include metal ions, which have practically the same ionic radii as the oxygen ions. This lattice has three different sites occupied by metals:tetrahedral, octahedral, and trigonal bi pyramid (surrounded by five oxygen ions). Figure 1.11The unit cell cross-sections of (a) M-type, (b) Y-type and (c) Z-type hexaferrites 3.APPLICATION OF FERRITES The applications of ferrites is mainly based upon their basic properties of ferrites such as good chemical stability, pronounced saturation magnetization, a high electrical resistivity, and low electrical losses. Ferrites can be prepared by many methods, and the viability to prepare a large number of solid solutions opens the means to modify their properties for many required applications. The prospects of preparing ferrite nanoparticles has opened a new research field, with innovative applications in the field of electronics and biotechnology (Miclea et al. 2005). Ferrite magnets have the advantages of simple production technology and low cost. Ferrite magnets have modest magnetic performance compared to the other main commercial magnet materials. Hexagonal ferrites such as BaFe12O19, SrFe12O19 are currently employed in many different sectors as permanent magnets. The main application for high-grade ferrite magnets is as segments in various DC motors for the automotive industry (Boon et al 2012, Kumbhar et al. 2010 &Tsakaloudi 2007).

Some of the applications are listed below:  In power supplies ferrites are applied in input filters, as inductors for resonant circuits and as output chokes.  Primarily ferrites are used as inductive components in electronic circuits like voltage-controlled oscillators, low noise amplifiers and impedance matching networks,  Sensors based on nickel ferrites (Ni1- xZnxFe2O4 with x = 1 to 0.5) / lead zirconate-titanate (PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3) have shown excellent performance.  Hexaferrites represent an interesting material for EMI (Electromagnetic interference) suppressor components.  Ferrite has been extensively used in many electronic chip devices because of high permeability in MHz ranges, high electrical resistivity and excellent chemical stability.  Spinel ferrites, MFe2O4 (M= Ni2+ , Co2+ , Cu2+ etc.) are the important materials in electronic material industries which include antenna rod, transformer core, recording head, loading coil, memory and microwave devices etc.  Due to their high rate of change of permeability with temperature, soft ferrites of MnCu, NiZn and MnZn are used for magnetic temperature sensors. SMPS (switching-mode power supply)- transformer is normally made with magnetic materials, like Mn-Zn ferrite and Co-type amorphous soft magnetic materials (S. Chang et al. 2012, U. Ozguri et al. 2009 & V.G. Harris et al. 2009). 3.2 Microwave devices Study on the Microwave absorbers is the recent topic of interest due to increased use in aircraft, ship, microwave darkroom, anti- electromagnetic interference coating, microwave thermal seed materials, etc. Ferrites are the choice materials for microwave applications. Barium hexaferrites, which possess large saturation magnetization and high natural resonance frequency, have been well known as special kinds of absorbing materials. Ferrite nanoparticles in combination with carbon nanotubes (CoFe2O4 spinel nanocomposite) can efficiently absorb microwave radiation (T. Tanaka et al. 2009 &M. Tada et al. 2009). 1.5.4.3 High frequency devices Eddy current losses are usually high and increase with the square of the frequency In devices for high frequency applications. These losses are inversely proportional to the resistivity. Therefore the high resistivity of the ferrites is the major factor for its wide application in high frequency magnetic components such as telecommunications and radar systems. NiZn ferrite has attracted a great deal of interest due its promising electromagnetic properties for application in high frequency devices. (J. Giria et al. 2008). 3.3 Bioscience In recent years, nanomagnetic particles have generated a lot of attention in the biomedical applications like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) contrast enhancement, magnetic separation, hyperthermia, tissue repair, immunoassays, and detoxification of biological fluids, drug delivery, and cell separation techniques. Among the different magnetic oxides, Fe3O4 and á-Fe2O3 particles have been extensively studied as they are known to be biocompatible within certain threshold limits. Thermal energy from hysteresis loss of ferrites is suitable for heating of specific tissues or organs. This principle is used in for treatment of cancer. The unique characteristics of spinel ferrite nanoparticles such as chemical stability, appropriate self-heating temperature-rising characteristics, and a high biological compatibility place this as a promising materials for hyperthermia.

MnxZn 1-x Fe2O4 ferrites are among the most temperature sensitive mixed ferrites and are used to prepare magnetic fluids in polar and non-polar solvents (Bean, Livingston 1959, Dino Fiorani 2005 &Gueron et al. 1999). 4. CONCLUSION Ferrites are ceramic materials and suitable for the high-frequency operation Ferrites are highly developed prominent materials with suitable for applications ranging from hard magnets to magnetic recording and to microwave devices. The advances in applications and fabrication technologies in the recent years is enormous Though bulk ferrites continue to be the main magnetic materials for various applications, nanostructured ferrites show a remarkable choice for applications in significantly wider fields. The applications of nanostructured ferrites will be reviewed in our next article. REFERENCES 1. M. Pieper, A. Morel, F. Kools, J. Magn. Magn. Mater., 242 (2002) 1408. 2. R. C.
