The Microwave Absorption in Composites with Finemet Alloy Particles and Carbon Nanotubes.

Abstract

The absorption of waves of the centimeter and millimeter wavebands in composites with Finemet alloy particles and carbon nanotubes has been studied. It has been established that ferromagnetic resonance and antiresonance are observed in such composites. A method is proposed for calculating the effective dynamic magnetic permeability of a composite containing both a random distribution of ferromagnetic particles and a part of the particles oriented in the same way. In the approximation of effective parameters, the dependences of the transmission and reflection coefficients of microwaves are calculated. It is shown that the theoretical calculation confirms the existence of resonant features of these dependences caused by ferromagnetic resonance and antiresonance. The theory based on the introduction of effective parameters satisfactorily describes the course of the field dependence of the coefficients and the presence of resonance features in these dependences. The frequency dependence of the complex permittivity of the composite is determined. The dependence of the complex magnetic permeability on the magnetic field for millimeter-wave frequencies is calculated.
