Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method of using cobalt (Co) to improve the magnetic properties of nickel-zinc ferrites, which are used in electronic applications. By replacing some of the nickel (Ni) with Co+2, and making the relaxation peaks of Co+2 and Ni / Zn overlap, the material's permeability can be maximized and magnetic loss can be minimized. The resulting materials provide superior performance for devices operating at the 13.56 MHz band. Additionally, the method also includes doping NiZn spinels with Co+2 to produce materials with permeability in excess of 10 and a favorable Q factor covering up to about 200 MHz. Overall, the patent provides a way to fine tune the magnetic properties of nickel-zinc ferrites using Co to improve their performance in electronic applications.

Problems solved by technology

However, different ions introduce different changes in material property that often result in performance trade-offs.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Disclosed herein are methods for fine tuning the magnetic properties of nickel zinc ferrites to improve the material performance in various electronic applications. Also disclosed herein are modified nickel zinc ferrite materials that are particularly suitable for use in various electronic devices operating at the 13.56 MHz ISM band. The modified nickel zinc ferrite material prepared according to embodiments described in the disclosure exhibits favorable magnetic properties such as increasing permeability and reducing magnetic loss.

[0021]Aspects and embodiments of the present invention are directed to improved materials for use in electronic devices. For example, these materials may be used to form an RF antenna for implantable medical devices, such as glucose sensors. These materials may also be used for other purposes, such as to form antennas for non-implantable devices, or other components of implantable or non-implantable devices. Advantageously, the materials have a comb...

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to using cobalt (Co) to fine tune the magnetic properties, such as permeability and magnetic loss, of nickel-zinc ferrites to improve the material performance in electronic applications. The method comprises replacing nickel (Ni) with sufficient Co+2 such that the relaxation peak associated with the Co+2 substitution and the relaxation peak associated with the nickel to zinc (Ni / Zn) ratio are into near coincidence. When the relaxation peaks overlap, the material permeability can be substantially maximized and magnetic loss substantially minimized. The resulting materials are useful and provide superior performance particularly for devices operating at the 13.56 MHz ISM band.
