Ferrites are a class of ceramic magnetic oxide materials that come under the category of compounds having iron oxide as their main components. According to their crystal structure, they can be divided into three groups namely spinel ferrite, garnet, and magneto-plumbite. All these types of ferrites are commercially important. Each one has a unique crystal structure and a distinct set of magnetic properties.
