Abstract
The Z type hexaferrites of Ba3Co2Fe24O41 and Sr3Co2Fe24O41 have high magnetic permeability in high frequency range so that they have been studied as candidates for frequency inductor cores and electromagnetic noise absorbers working in a gigahertz range [1]. Recently a polycrystal of Sr3Co2Fe24O41 has been found to show magnetoelectric effect even at room temperature [2]. In the present study, we measured the magnetic field dependence of the THz optical absorption spectra of a powdered polycrystal of Sr3Co2Fe24O41 at room temperature in search for a novel optical response related with magnetic property of solids. As a result, we found that Sr3Co2Fe24O41 has some THz absorption peaks whose optical density significantly changes under weak external magnetic fields applied by a pair of permanent magnets. The frequency range where the absorption change occurs is broader than that in the case of Ba2Mg2Fe12O22, which shows the magnetoelectric effect only at low temperatures [3].
