Embodiments disclosed herein relate to using cobalt (Co) to fine tune the magnetic properties, such as permeability and magnetic loss, of nickel-zinc ferrites to improve the material performance in electronic applications. The method comprises replacing nickel (Ni) with sufficient Co.sup.+2 such that the relaxation peak associated with the Co.sup.+2 substitution and the relaxation peak associated with the nickel to zinc (Ni/Zn) ratio are into near coincidence. When the relaxation peaks overlap, the material permeability can be substantially maximized and magnetic loss substantially minimized. The resulting materials are useful and provide superior performance particularly for devices operating at the 13.56 MHz ISM band.

The present invention provides a method for producing a lamination-shaped fired body. This production method includes a shaping step (S10) of shaping a lamination-shaped article by using a lamination shaping powder that contains non-hydrating reaction raw material particles, an impregnation step (S20) of impregnating the lamination-shaped article with a coupling liquid that contains a coupling agent, and a firing step (S30) of firing the lamination-shaped article so as to obtain a lamination-shaped fired body, implemented following the impregnation step.
