Lithium-Titanium-Zinc spinel ferrites are shown to be candidates to replace Mn-Zn or Mn-Mg-Zn ferrites in industrial applications such as television deflection yokes where moderate initial permeability (500 to 1000) but high resistivity (>10
8Ωcm) are needed. The best compromises are found in the composition range given by

and

in the following formula : Li
0.5(1+t-z)Zn
zMn
mFe
2.5(1-0.2z-0.6t-0.4m-ε)Ti
tO
4where the Iron deficiency ε and the Manganese amount m are chosen in order to avoid any Fe
2+formation. Bismuth addition in the range 10
-3- 10
-2Bi/mole reduces sintering temperature under 1000°C and strongly enhances the final electrical resistivity.
