Reducing dielectric losses in MnZn ferrites by adding TiO/sub 2/ and MoO/sub 3/

We investigated the complementary effects of TiO/sub 2/ and MoO/sub 3/ additives on the magnetic properties, the core loss, and the dielectric properties of MnZn ferrites. We analyzed the composition factors influencing the permeability of MnZn ferrites. A high initial permeability base ZnO-MnO-Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/ composition ratio was selected. Electrical and dielectric analyses indicated that the introduction of TiO/sub 2/ can improve the high-frequency loss properties of MnZn ferrite cores, but such introduction will also have a negative effect on the magnetic properties of the sintered samples. Introduction of MoO/sub 3/ can alleviate the negative influence of TiO/sub 2/ and also reduce the internal polarization intensity. As a result, the dielectric constant and corresponding dielectric loss may be reduced. We give experimental results in the paper.
