High-coercivity hexaferrite ceramics featuring sub-terahertz ferromagnetic resonance.

Herein, we demonstrate for the first time compact ferrite ceramics with giant coercivity. The materials are manufactured sintering single-domain SrCaFeAlO particles synthesized by a citrate-nitrate auto-combustion method. The obtained ceramics show coercivities up to 22.5 kOe and natural ferromagnetic resonance frequencies (NFMR) in a sub-THz range of 160-282 GHz. At a maximum density of 95%, the sample displays coercivity of 18.5 kOe, which is the highest value among dense ferrite materials reported so far. In addition, we report an unusual blueshift of the NFMR frequency from 160 to 200 GHz, which occurs during material sintering.
