TY - JOUR IS - 3 N2 - Marine CSEM is a new technique for detection of deep target hydrocarbons. Aluminum EM antenna was developed, and nanostructured NiZn magnetic feeders were used to increase the field strength from EM antenna for deep hydrocarbons. The doping of Ni2+ was aimed at the optimization of initial permeability and magnetic losses. Ni0.5+xZn0.5-xFe2O4 (x = 0.3) samples sintered at 950°C presented highest initial permeability (106.23) and low magnetic loss (0.0002) as compared to other samples. Due to better magnetic properties, Ni0.5+xZn0.5-xFe2O4 (x = 0.3) samples were used as magnetic feeders for EM antenna. Magnitude of EM waves from the antenna increased up to 186. © 2014 The American Ceramic Society.
