Electromagnetic-wave absorption by FeCo/C nanocapsules has been investigated. In contrast to earlier reported materials, including other nanocapsules, the absorption amplitude of FeCo/C nanocapsules is found not to decrease with increasing absorption-layer thickness. A reflection loss ͑RL͒ exceeding Ϫ20 dB can be obtained for all frequencies within the 2-18 GHz range by choosing an appropriate layer thickness between 1.6 and 8.5 mm. The broadest bandwidth ͑RL values exceeding Ϫ10 dB͒ from 10 to 18 GHz, covering half of the X-band and the whole K u-band, is obtained for a 2 mm layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
