Ferrite ceramics, Ni[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]O4, with the addition of 4[Formula: see text]wt.% Bi2O3 as sintering aid, were fabricated by using a simple one-step processing without involving the step of calcination. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that single phase ferrite ceramics can be achieved after sintering at 1000[Formula: see text]C for 2[Formula: see text]h. The samples demonstrated relative densities in the range of 97–99%. Desired magneto-dielectric properties have been approached by adjusting the sintering temperature and sintering time duration. This technique is believed to be applicable to other ceramic materials.
