Materials that absorb electromagnetic waves over an ultra-wide frequency band have great potential for military and civilian applications. In this study, a square-frustum-type metamaterial structure was designed and prepared using CI/silica gel composites and flake-shaped FeNi/silica gel composites as the filling substrate. The structural parameters of the square frustum were simulated and optimized using CST Studio Suite.

However, the practical EMW absorbing of these absorbers is still greatly hindered by the unmatched impedance properties and limited EMW absorbing ability. Tuning the morphologies at nanoscale and assembling the nanoarchitecture construction are essential to address this issue.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA dielectric loss-type electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorber, especially over a broad frequency range, is important yet challenging. As the most typical dielectric attenuation absorber, carbon-based nanostructures were highly pursued and studied. However, their poor impedance-matching issues still exist.

It is found that individual bimagnetic h-Co/h-CoO nanotetrapods are made of a h-CoO nanotetrapod skeleton to which multiple nanocrystals of ferromagnetic metallic h-Co are directly attached. The chemical analysis shows that the mass ratio of h-CoO and h-Co is 65 : 35.

The external diameter of the CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes ranges from 60 nm to 160 nm. The morphology and structure characterizations show that individual CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes are made of CoFe(2)O(4) nanocrystals stacking along the nanotubes with no preferred growth directions and these individual nanocrystals are single crystal with a cubic spinel structure.

Individual NiFe(2)O(4) nanofibres were found to consist of many nanocrystallites stacked along the nanofibre axis. Chemical analysis shows that the atomic ratio of Ni : Fe is 1 : 2, indicating that the composition was NiFe(2)O(4).
