High-temperature dielectric properties and microwave absorption abilities of Bi1−xMgxFeO3 nanoparticles

BiFeO3 (BFO) multiferroic nanoparticles have attracted increasing attention owing to the coexistence of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. In this work, Bi1−xMgxFeO3 (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) multiferroic nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption performance in the temperature range of 323–723K at X-band were investigated. The qualified bandwidth (absorption intensity < −10dB) of the Mg-doped BFO materials covers the whole X-band at 673K, suggesting promising candidates as high-temperature electromagnetic absorbers.
