Electromagnetic wave absorption properties of α-Fe/Fe3B/Y2O3 nanocomposites in gigahertz range

Abstract

Nanocomposites α-Fe/Fe3B/Y2O3 were prepared by a melt-spun technique, and the electromagnetic wave absorption properties were measured in the 0.05–20.05 GHz range. Compared with α-Fe/Y2O3 composites, the resonance frequency (fr) of α-Fe/Fe3B/Y2O3 shifted to a higher frequency range due to the large anisotropy field (HA) of tetragonal Fe3B (∼0.4 MA/m). The relative permittivity (εr=εr′−jεr″) was constantly low over the 0.5–10 GHz region, which indicates that the composite powders have a high resistivity (ρ=∼100 Ω m). The effective electromagnetic wave absorption (reflection loss <−20 dB) was obtained in a frequency range of 2.7–6.5 GHz on resin composites of 80 wt % α-Fe/Fe3B/Y2O3 powders, with thickness of 6–3 mm, respectively. A minimum reflection loss of −33 dB was observed at 4.5 GHz with an absorber thickness of 4 mm.

Conjugated polymer nanocomposites: Synthesis, dielectric, and microwave absorption studies

“…Therefore, it is better to use conducting matrix to suppress the eddy current phenomenon to enhance the effective interaction with the absorber. 13 Among the EM wave absorbers, the composites of magnetic particles in the insulating matrix have been extensively studied. Che et al 14 reported the synthesis of CNT encapsulated with Fe nanoparticles showing good absorption behavior but the complex synthesis of CNT filled with magnetic nanoparticles is not favorable for practical applications.…”

“…RL values exceeding -20 dB in the 7.4 -15 GHz range are obtained by choosing an appropriate absorption-layer thickness between 1.7 and 3.3 mm. This frequency range covers the absorption frequency range of the traditional sintered ferrites 26,27 . The thickness range is thinner than that of many earlier reported nanocomposites 5,[8][9][10][11] .…”

Strengthened electromagnetic absorption performance derived from synergistic effect of carbon nanotube hybrid with Co@C beads

“…Afterward, the complex permittivity (ε r ) and permeability (μ r ) of the samples were determined from the measured scattering parameters. Finally, the RL values can be calculated from the relative permittivity and permeability at the given frequency and absorber thickness by using the following formulas [25,37]:…”
