Abstract

In the current study, we have explored the electromagnetic and microwave absorption characteristics, especially the permeability, permittivity and reflection loss of magnetoelectric BaTi(1-x)ZnxO3 with x= 0; 1/3; ½; 2/3; 1. The composition was selected to include the effect of structural change when Ti is substituted with Zn in BaTi(1-x)ZnxO3 material system. When x = 0, the Zn free BaTiO3 posesses a tetragonal phase with lattice parameters a = b = 3.996361 Å and c = 4.029751 Å. The lattice parameters changed when x > 0 and phase transformation as well as material structure change occurred when x = 1. In addition, the effect of the geometric effect of replacing Ti ions with Zn which has a bigger ion radius will increase the absorption of electromagnetic waves.
