The Ability of NiFe₂O₄ Samples to Reduce Electromagnetic Wave Pollution in the Frequency Range of 2-18 Ghz

Abstract:

Rapid technological developments have the impact of increasing electromagnetic wave pollution. To reduce this pollution, nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) nanoparticles are made by using mechanical alloying method with high energy milling in a wet state. X-ray diffractometer was used to characterize the crystal structure and the formed phase; scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize surface morphology; and for magnetization, a vibrating sample of magnetometer was used. Meanwhile, the capability to absorb electromagnetic waves in the 2-18 GHz interval was using a vector network analyzer. NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles have a cubic structure, space group Fd-3m, and a crystal size of 127 nm. The shape of the particles resembles a block and is spherical, measuring about 250-300 nm. At room temperature, NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles are soft magnetic materials with a magnetic saturation (Ms) of 41.61 emu/g and a coercivity (Hc) of 0.24 kOe. The ability to absorb microwaves, is expressed by reflection loss (RL) ~ -25.81 dB at a frequency (f) 5.16 GHz with a bandwidth (BW) 1.62 GHz, while RL ~ - 18.64 dB at f = 10, 98 GHz with BW = 1.42 GHz.
