Abstract: In this paper the effect of Co-Zr substitution on permittivity and permeability of polycrystalline M-type hexaferrite (Ba(CoZr)xFe12–2xO19 with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) and their composite thick films was investigated at RF and microwave frequencies ( X- band). Enhanced sintering temperatures as well as higher Co-Zr concentration in the polycrystalline Ba(CoZr)xFe12–2xO19 samples resulted in enhancement in the complex permittivity. This rise in permittivity is understandable in ferrites due to increased concentration of easily polarizable Fe2+ ions in the high temperature sintered samples. Co-Zr substitution resulted in grain growth, enhancement in electrical conductivity and enhanced dielectric parameters. Permeability of these samples, measured at X-band frequencies by cavity perturbation technique, was found to be decreasing on Co-Zr substitution, because of substitution of magnetic Fe ions by nonmagnetic Zr ions. However the complex permittivity don’t show remarkable change within X-band frequency range. The permittivity values of thick films were expectedly found to be less as compared to corresponding bulk materials both at low and microwave frequencies. Temperature dependence of dielectric properties of these ferrite-composite thick films also infers that these films can be useful up to a temperature of 200°C without material degradation.
