Abstract

Microwave absorption measurements were carried out on Ni 0.35Zn0.65Fe2O4 polycrystalline ferrites, at a constant frequency of 9.4GHz (X-Band) and dc magnetic fields (Hdc) in the 0-0.8T range. The measuring temperature was varied from 300 to 500K. A clear evolution from ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) to paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was observed as a function of temperature which is related with the passage through the Curie point (∼430K), as observed by thermal variations of magnetic permeability. In addition, a low field (H dc<0.06T) absorption signal was observed with the same phase as the FMR absorption. However, in contrast with FMR, this signal exhibited hysteresis by cycling the dc field and disappears with temperature (∼350K) before the Curie point is reached. The assignment of this signal as due to non-resonant microwave absorption processes by the partially magnetized sample is discussed.
