Electromagnetic and Microwave Absorption of Nanocrystalline Alloy Fe_0.2(Co_0.2Ni_0.8)_0.8 and Nanocomposite SrFe₁₂O₁₉/Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ Microfibers

Abstract

Magnetic nanocrystalline alloy Fe0.2(Co0.2Ni0.8)0.8 microfibers and nanocomposite SrFe12O19/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 microfibers are used as the absorbents in the double-layer structure for microwave absorption. The double-layer absorbers with a total thickness of 2 mm consisting of Fe0.2(Co0.2Ni0.8)0.8 and nanocomposite SrFe12O19/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 microfibers are designed, and their microwave absorption properties are predicted based on the electromagnetic parameter measurements. The results show that the double-layer absorber with the absorption layer of SrFe12O19/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 microfibers and the thickness of 0.6 mm has the best microwave absorption properties, with the bandwidth ( the reflection loss less than −10 dB) of 7.3 GHz ranging from 10.7 GHz to 18 GHz, and the maximum reflection loss of −71.4 dB at 12.1 GHz.
