Polycrystalline ferrites have very important structural, magnetic and electrical properties that are dependent on several factors such as method of preparation, stoichiometry, substitution of cations, sintering temperature, sintering time, sintering atmosphere, etc. NiCuZn ferrite is one of the most important magnetic materials for multilayer chip inductor (MLCI) applications due to their high electrical resistivity, low sintering temperature and high permeability. In view of this in the present book stands for, single phase NiCuZn ferrites have been prepared at low temperature (without sintering aids) by both conventional and microwave sintering techniques and studies on structural, magnetic and electrical properties are presented.

Dr. Penchal Reddy carried out his research on conventional and microwave sintering studies on polycrystalline ferrites under the supervision of Prof.R.R.Reddy and critical evaluation of Prof.K.V.Sivakumar fetched PhD degree from S.K.University in 2010. He published more than 18 research articles and presented several research papers in conferences.
