Abstract
The Fe—Cu—Nb—Si—B alloy nanocomposite containing two ferromagnetic phases (amorphous phase and nanophase phase) is obtained by properly annealing the as-prepared alloys. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) images show the coexistence of these two phases. It is found that Fe—Si nanograins are surrounded by the retained amorphous ferromagnetic phase. Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements show that the nanophase is the D03-type Fe—Si phase, which is employed to find the atomic fractions of resonant 57Fe atoms in these two phases. The microwave permittivity and permeability spectra of Fe—Cu—Nb—Si—B nanocomposite are measured in the frequency range of 0.5 GHz–10 GHz. Large relative microwave permeability values are obtained. The results show that the absorber containing the nanocomposite flakes with a volume fraction of 28.59% exhibits good microwave absorption properties. The reflection loss of the absorber is less than −10 dB in a frequency band of 1.93 GHz–3.20 GHz.
