The shape anisotropy of the nanostructured nanorattles is one of the key factors that affect their microwave absorption performance. In the present study, the microwave absorption performance of ellipsoidal Fe3O4@CuSiO3 nanorattles with different aspect ratios was investigated. Results demonstrated that the ellipsoidal nanorattles with the aspect ratio of 3-4 exhibited about 20% enhancement of ...

Both microwave absorption and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) are two essential performances of magnetic materials. We observe that LaFe(11.6)Si(1.4)C(0.2)H(1.7) intermetallic compound exhibits the advantages of both giant microwave absorption exceeding -42 dB and magnetic entropy change of -20 Jkg(-1)K(-1). The excellent electromagnetic wave absorption results from the large magnetic loss and diel...

In order to clearly understand the intrinsic microwave absorption properties of carbon nanomaterials, we proposed an efficient strategy to synthesize high purity metal-free carbon nanotubes (CNTs) over water-soluble K2CO3 particles through chemical vapor decomposition and water-washing process. The comparison results indicated the leftover catalyst caused negative effects in intrinsic microwave...

The frequencies of microwave absorption can be affected by the permanent electric dipole moment which could be adjusted by modifying the crystal symmetry of the microwave absorbing materials. Herein, we corroborate this strategy experimentally and computationally to the microwave absorption of manganese dioxides. Nanosized Co-doped cryptomelane (Co-Cryp) was successfully synthesized by a one-st...

The microwave absorption at frequencies between 10 MHz and 4 GHz is measured for aqueous brine droplets dispersed in a dielectric medium (epsilon(')=2.0). By varying the size of the droplets, ion type and ion concentration, it is found that the microwave absorption goes through a maximum which depends on the type of ions and their concentration. The absorption process is attributed to the polar...

We consider the implications of the small Fermi surface for the ab-plane microwave absorption. The small Fermi surface results in two superconducting condensates. Linear combinations of these condensates correspond to the d-and g-wave pairings. Microwave electric field applied in the ab-plane induces Josephson transitions between the condensates. Dependence of the absorption upon direction, amp...

Microwave absorbing property of composites containing Ag nanoparticles filled multiwalled carbon nanotube buckypaper (Ag-BP) has been investigated. Buckypaper doped with silver was prepared by direct dispersion and filtration method. From the low temperature resistivity measurement it was found that increasing doping level decreases the electrical conductivity of the buckypaper. 30 wt. % and 40...

BACKGROUND Carbon nanotube (CNT) characteristics, besides the processing conditions, can change significantly the microwave absorption behavior of CNT/polymer composites. In this study, we investigated the influence of three commercial multi-walled CNT materials with various diameters and length-to-diameter aspect ratios on the X-band microwave absorption of epoxy nanocomposites with CNT conten...

In microwave induced thermo-acoustic tomography (MITAT) system, radiation of an antenna is a near field problem which gives rise to a non-uniform distribution of microwave radiation power in detection area. Due to this non-uniform distribution, the contrast of MITAT image which is proportional to the absorbed microwave energy will not reflect the real characteristics (dielectric properties) of ...
