Abstract
Nano-sized Y3Fe5O12 ferrite powder prepared by bead milling was calcined to clarify the effect of particle growth on the heat generation mechanism in AC magnetic field. The maximum heat generation ability of 0.46W•g-1 (1.77kA•m-1,370kHz) was obtained for the sample calcined at 700oC. Although the suparparamagnetic material was obtained for the sample calcined at low temperature, the ferrimagnetic property showed for that calcined at 700oC (particle size 37nm).
