“…The effective absorption (below À 10 dB) bandwidth can be tuned between 9.0 GHz and 18.0 GHz by adjusting thickness in 1.5 À 2.5 mm, and while the frequency for RL exceeding À 20 dB is located at 11.1-16.2 GHz with thickness of 1.8-2.2 mm. Compared with previously reported Ni-based composites [9,13,[35][36][37][38], the SA possesses the characteristics of strong absorption, wideband and thin thickness, which make it as a promising absorber in the microwave range. For the SA, the excellent microwave absorption properties were attributed to the good impedance, high dielectric loss, magnetic loss and unique core-shell structures, which can lead to the interference of multi-reflected microwaves [39].…”
