Abstract

We have formulated the requirements for ferrites that must be met to obtain rectangular and square hysteresis loops. We have studied the effect of micro-inhomogeneities on the rectangularity and squareness of the hysteresis loop. We have established a negative effect from α-Fe2O3 inclusions, local tetragonal distortions of the cubic lattice, and linear micro-inhomogeneities. We have shown that the general reason for the high degree of squareness of the hysteresis loop for ferrites of all compositions having a rectangular hysteresis loop is granulated micro-inhomogeneities with an elevated concentration of cationic vacancies relative to the matrix. We have studied the conditions for the formation of such inhomogeneities.
