Microwave-absorption properties of ZnO-coated iron nanocapsules

The electromagnetic (EM) characteristics of ZnO-coated Fe nanocapsules synthesized by arc discharging were studied at 2 - 18 GHz . A reflection loss (RL) exceeding − 20 dB was obtained in the frequency range of 6.1 - 15.7 GHz for an absorber thickness of 1.5 - 5 mm . An optimal RL of − 57.1 dB was f...

Zusammenfassung:The electromagnetic (EM) characteristics of ZnO-coated Fe nanocapsules synthesized by arc discharging were studied at 2 - 18 GHz . A reflection loss (RL) exceeding − 20 dB was obtained in the frequency range of 6.1 - 15.7 GHz for an absorber thickness of 1.5 - 5 mm . An optimal RL of − 57.1 dB was found at 7.8 GHz for an absorber thickness of 3.00 mm . The excellent microwave-absorption properties are a consequence of a proper EM match in the nano-microstructure, a strong natural resonance, as well as multipolarization mechanisms. ZnO-coated Fe nanocapsules may be attractive candidates for EM-wave-absorption materials.
