The XRD analysis reveals the formation of mixed phases of M-type hexaferrite and α-Fe2O3. The crystallite size is found in the range of 24-46 nm. The micrographs of typical samples show porous and agglomerated grains. The values of Ms, Mr, Hc decreased with the increase of Co–Al content. The values of the dielectric constant, tangent loss, AC conductivity and dielectric modulus were studied as a function of frequency.

Introduction M type strontium hexaferrite possesses a magnetoplumbite structure and is the prominent magnetic material due to its distinct magnetic properties such as high Curie temperature,− a large value of magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, high permeability, excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance [1–4]. The crystal structure of M-type hexagonal ferrite can be considered as a superposition of spinel and hexagonal +2 -2 3+ layers of Fe6O8 and MFe6O11 , it has 24 Fe ions per unit cell, that are distributed among five different interstitial sites: three octahedral sites 12k, 2a and 4f2, one tetrahedral site 4f1 and one trigonalbipyramidal site 2b. The 12k, 2a and 2b sites have up spins; while 4f1 and 4f2 sites have down spins because of the ferromagnetic coupling occurring due to the decrease in the distance of Fe–O–Fe and the angle between Fe–O–Fe approaching towards 180º [5]. The Fe ions at the 2b site provide the largest positive contribution to magnetocrystalline anisotropy, while those at the 4f1, 4f2, 2a sites provide medium to weak positive contributions, and a negative contribution is provided by Fe ions at the 12k site [6]. These magnetic materials find a vital role for the applications in microwave devices and electromagnetic wave absorber [7-8]. Strontium hexaferrite can be prepared by a variety of methods [9] like coprecipitation [10], microemulsion [11], conventional ceramic [12], and sol-gel [13]. The properties of hexagonal ferrites can be tuned by substituting cations during the synthesis. Hexagonal ferrites substituted with an appropriate proportion of ions can change structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of materials. The magnetic properties of strontium ferrite can be improved by substituting ferric ions with other suitable ions, such as Pb+2 [14], Cr+3 [15], +2 +3 +2 +3 Cu [16] Al [17-18] etc. It was reported that low level Co –Al substitution led to a greater control over magnetic parameters (Ms, Mr, Hc) in SrFe12-x-yAlxCoyO19 (x = 1.0 - 4.0, and y = 0.0 -2.0) series [19]. Jasbir Singh et al. [20] have studied tunable microwave absorptions in Co-Al substituted Ba-Sr hexaferrites and concluded that synthesized 217 Materials Research Foundations Vol. 5 materials have potential as microwave absorbers. The Coercivity value has been enhanced by Al- substitution for Fe ions compared to pure M-type strontium hexaferrite [21]. In the present chapter, we report the effect of Co+2–Al+3 substitution on structural, morphological, magnetic and dielectric properties of SrCoxAlxFe(12-2x)O19 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) hexaferrites, prepared using a simple heat treatment technique. 2. Experimental procedure The simple heat treatment method was used to prepare SrCoxAlxFe(12-2x)O19 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) hexaferrite samples. Stoichiometric proportion of strontium nitrate–Sr(NO3)2·6H2O ( ≥ 99.0 % pure, Sigma–Aldrich), iron (III) nitrate –Fe(NO3)3·9H2O ( ≥ 99.0 % pure, Sigma–Aldrich), aluminium nitrate nonahydrate– Al(NO3)3·9H2O (99.99 % pure, Sigma–Aldrich) and cobalt (II) nitrate hexahydrate–Co(NO3)2·6H2O (ACS reagent, ≥ 98 % pure, Sigma–Aldrich) (all AR grade) were dissolved in deionized water separately. An aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone–(C6H9NO)n (PVP 40, Sigma–Aldrich) was prepared separately in 100 ml of deionized water. As prepared solution of strontium nitrate, cobalt nitrate, aluminium nitrate and iron (III) nitrate was added one by one into the PVP 40 solution and stirred continuously for 2 h on a magnetic stirrer. The pH of the solution obtained was kept at 2. The mixed solution was heated to 80º C in order to evaporate the water content. The resulting dark orange brown solid was crushed for 15 min and heated at 650º C for 3 h to obtain the final product. 3. Results and discussion 3.1 FTIR analysis FTIR spectra of all samples were recorded at room temperature using an FTIR spectrometer (Bruker Tensor 27 Model). Fig. 1 represents the FTIR spectra of SrCoxAlxFe(12-2x)O19 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) hexaferrites in the wave number range between 4000 -1 -1 cm to 400 cm . The FTIR spectra for all samples show two absorption bands
