Atomic Infusion Induced Reconstruction Enhances Multifunctional Thermally Conductive Films for Robust Low‐Frequency Electromagnetic Absorption

AbstractDeterministic fabrication of highly thermally conductive composite film with satisfying low‐frequency electromagnetic (EM) absorption performance exhibits great potential in advancing the application of 5G smart electric devices but persists challenge. Herein, a multifunctional flexible film combined with hetero‐structured Fe6W6C‐FeWO4@C (FWC−O@C) as the absorber and aramid nanofibers (ANFs) as the matrix was prepared. Driven by an atomic gradient infusion reduction strategy, the carbon atoms of absorbers can be precisely relocated from carbon shell to core oxometallate lattice, triggering in situ carbothermic reduction for customization of unique oxometallate‐carbide heterojunctions and surface geometrical structure. Such an atoms reconstruction process effectively regulates interface electronic structure and magnetic configuration, resulting in enhanced polarization loss from abundant heterointerfaces and crystal defects and magnetic loss from hierarchical structure endowed magnetic coupling interaction, which jointly contributes to the efficient low‐frequency EM absorption performance. Eventually, optimized FWC−O@C microplate exhibits a broad absorption bandwidth surpassed the entire C band, and the assembled FWC−O@C/ANFs composite film also performs a high thermal conductivity over 2500 % higher than that of the pure ANFs. These findings provide a new insight into the atomic reconstruction affected EM properties and a generalized methodological guidance for preparing multifunctional thermally conductive composite films.

Plasma-Driven Conversion of 2D Graphene into 3D Pouch for Improved Electromagnetic Absorption Performance.

Graphene-based materials are ideal for electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials (EAMs) due to their strong electrical and dielectric losses with reduced thickness and weight. To enhance the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of these materials, additional components are often incorporated. However, this approach not only increases the complexity of the synthesis process but also complicates and destabilizes the control of the material properties. In this study, we successfully employed a one-step method to reduce graphene oxide and transform 2D graphene into a 3D pocket-like structure through plasma treatment. This unique 3D structure is induced by the formation of uneven defects on the surface due to plasma treatment. The distinctive pouch-like structure of the reduced graphene oxide achieved remarkable electromagnetic wave absorption properties. Specifically, the material demonstrated a minimum reflection loss of -38.65 dB at 7.14 GHz, with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.13 GHz and a thickness of just 1.9 mm. These results highlight the potential of plasma processing as a rapid, efficient, and environmentally friendly approach for the continuous production of advanced EAMs, paving the way for greener manufacturing practices in the industry.

This study reports first-principles investigations of the structural, electronic, thermal, and optical properties of a novel material In2CO in bulk phase and slab models in (001), (100), (101), and (011) orientations to develop a fundamental understanding of its characteristics. The material appeared structurally as well as dynamically stable in the orthorhombic phase. The thermal properties demonstrated that the material's heat capacity is more temperature-sensitive than entropy and enthalpy. The electronic band structure analysis revealed that the orthorhombic phase material is a semiconductor with a narrow indirect band gap. The electronic structures modeled using the spin-orbit coupling yielded the metallic phase of the slabs except for (001) orientation. The electromagnetic absorption characteristics of the compound are also investigated to explore the material's potential in optoelectronic applications. The direction-dependent study of optical characteristics revealed that the (001) slab of the material can be an efficient infrared detector. The survey findings provide instrumental outcomes in utilizing In2CO in electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Enhanced microwave absorption of sandwich panels with magnetized carbon fiber corrugated array reinforced PMI foam core

AbstractIntegrating periodic array structures made of metal wires or conductive inks into the foam core of electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing sandwich panels can significantly improve broadband absorption performance. However, the complex fabrication process and poor corrosion resistance of these materials limit their practical applications. This work innovatively introduces magnetized carbon fiber (CF) into PMI foam, simultaneously achieving broadband absorption and lightweight characteristics of the sandwich structure through the design of array structure and fiber bundle geometry. Simulation analysis compared the EM absorption performance of sandwich panels with carbonyl iron powder (CIP)/CF tape and helical twisted CIP/CF rope corrugated arrays, determining the optimal array structure parameters, which were then experimentally validated. The experimental results align with the simulations, showing that CIP/CF rope corrugated arrays with an amplitude of 10 mm, a cycle length of 15 mm, and an array spacing of 15 mm provide optimal absorption performance, with a reflection loss below −10 dB across the 9–18 GHz frequency range and a maximum absorption of −33.9 dB at 17 GHz. Finally, the absorption mechanism of these sandwich structures is discussed, highlighting how the synergistic effects between the electromagnetic properties and structural morphology of CIP/CF enhance the absorption performance of the EM absorbing sandwich panel.

Electromagnetic absorption properties of composite mortar with graphene and manganese-zinc ferrite

Electromagnetic wave absorption of building structures plays a crucial role in safeguarding information and mitigating electromagnetic radiation. This study delves into the absorption capabilities of composite mortar made with graphene (GR) and manganese-zinc ferrite (MFO) across frequencies of 1−18 GHz. The mechanical strength, microstructural examinations, and numerical simulations to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of wave absorption in the composite mortar are investigated. The results indicate that incorporating 30% MFO reduces the strength of mortar due to its low bonding capacity and diluting effects, whereas GR enhances the strength of mortar by facilitating cement hydration. Electromagnetic examinations reveal that MFO boosts the magnetic loss performance, while GR augments dielectric loss properties. In addition, the presence of needle, rod, mesh, and flake hydration products in the pores of composite mortar also contributes to increased wave depletion. According to the simulation of electromagnetic absorption based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, the composite mortar with GR and MFO exhibits a superior performance of electromagnetic wave absorption. With the 25 mm thickness of composite mortar with 30% MFO, an absorption below -10 dB, covering a bandwidth of 1.68−4.34 GHz are obtained, with a peak reflection loss of -22.13 dB at 3.23 GHz. Thus, by combination magnetic loss of MFO, dielectric loss of GR, and the reflective capabilities of porous mortar, a composite mortar with a better electromagnetic wave absorption can be achieved.

Frequency insensitive electromagnetic absorption core-shell sandwich structure with excellent electromagnetic damage tolerance

The compatibility of broadband electromagnetic absorption and electromagnetic damage tolerance poses challenges to the regulation of electromagnetic response characteristics, which are typically restricted by the intrinsic dispersion of materials and strong resonant features of unit cell structures. In this work, triply-periodic-minimal-surfaces (TPMS) based gradient core-shell sandwich structure is proposed to address this challenge for its mathematical defined unique conductive pore structure. The reflection loss-frequency curve is less than −10 dB in 2–18 GHz frequency band, accompanied by two separate resonant absorption peaks at 2.4 GHz and 17.5 GHz. The reflection loss curve is insensitive to frequency in a wide frequency band of 4–14 GHz, using merely three kinds of absorbing materials. When the damage proportion is less than 40 %, effective electromagnetic absorption can be maintained in panel damage, core damage and penetrating damage modes, thanks to the extraordinary conduction-dissipation effect. Our study provides valuable insights for the design of damage tolerant electromagnetic absorption structures.

Internal heating and distribution in electromagnetic Powell-Eyring [formula omitted]/glycerin hybridized nanomaterial with radiation and wall slip conditions

The synergistic influences of the hybridization of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles on electromagnetic radiation absorption and augmentation of thermal conductivity coupled with the industrial demand for an enhanced non-Newtonian working fluid spurred this study. Therefore, the study examines the radiative properties and thermal behaviour of hybridized MoS2 and GO nanoparticle systems dispersed in a glycerin Powell-Eyring fluid with wall slip conditions. A theoretical mathematical setup is modelled for the nanoparticle thermophysical characteristics with viscous dissipation and heat generation under the influence of the electromagnetic Riga plate. The model is transformed into an invariant dimensionless form and solved utilizing the pseudo-spectral collocation technique. The effect of fluid rheology, nanoparticle concentration, and fluid-wall slip conditions interface on radiative heat transfer and thermal propagation is investigated. The results reveal momentous augments in radiation absorption and thermal conductivity of about 4.13% to 10.22% due to MoS2 and GO hybridized nanoparticles. Also, it was found that thermal transport is enhanced close to the solid boundary wall slip, leading to an improve heat distribution rate. Hence, this study contributes to the interplay complexity between external stimuli, fluid dynamics, and nanoparticle morphology in thermal systems, offering insights into the advanced materials synthesis, thermal management systems, and optimization and design of nanoparticle fluid enhancement applications.

High-performance honeycomb porous microwave absorbers: Gelatin-based carbon nanotube/nickel nanowire aerogels

Biomass-derived carbon absorbent materials have received significant attention due to their renewability, diverse sources, and ease of preparation. In this work, a honeycomb porous electromagnetic wave absorber with excellent performance was successfully prepared by blending gelatin and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), followed by freeze-drying. Metallic nickel nanowires (NiNWs) were then introduced as a second phase using an in-situ growth method. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the aerogel containing 8.06 wt% MWCNTs and 3.36 wt% NiNWs was −36.1 dB at a thickness of 3.1 mm, with the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) covering the entire X-band. Additionally, the aerogel exhibited a very low density (36 mg/cm3) and remarkable strength, capable of supporting over 1658 times its weight for more than 24 h without deformation. These properties make it highly valuable for commercial use and provide new inspiration for the future development of biomass carbon-based electromagnetic absorbing materials.

The Electrical Conductivity Mechanisms and Dielectric Properties of Multiphase Co-synthesized CuV2O6–MnV2O6

AbstractMany research studies on photodegradation, energy storage applications, and biosensing have focused on single and mixed Cu and Mn divanadates (MV2O6, M2+ = Cu2+ and/or Mn2+). In this work, MV2O6 was synthesized, and its electrical conductivity and dielectric properties were studied. The electrical and dielectric properties were investigated in a frequency range of 0.1-300 kHz and a temperature range of 298 K to 573 K. The results indicate that the DC conductivity, AC conductivity, dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, and loss tangent of the investigated materials increase with temperature, which support the contribution of grains and grain boundaries to the electrical properties. The materials exhibit non-Debye type relaxation, as indicated by the progression of the relaxation frequency. As frequency increases, the activation energy of AC conduction decreases, indicating that hopping conduction is the dominant mechanism. In all samples, the DC conduction activation energy is higher than the AC conduction activation energy. The circuit model was used to estimate the relaxation times. The results revealed remarkable dielectric characteristics, notably higher dielectric loss tangent values at frequencies below 1 kHz. Consequently, these materials can be used as electromagnetic attenuation absorbers. Graphical Abstract

Novel Structures for PV Solar Cells: Fabrication of Cu/Cu2S-MWCNTs 1D-Hybrid Nanocomposite

The production of cost-effective novel materials for PV solar cells with long-term stability, high energy conversion efficiency, enhanced photon absorption, and easy electron transport has stimulated great interest in the research community over the last decades. In the presented work, Cu/Cu2S-MWCNTs nanocomposites were produced and analyzed in the framework of potential applications for PV solar cells. Firstly, the surface of the produced one-dimensional Cu was covered by Cu2S nanoflake. XRD data prove the formation of both Cu and Cu2S structures. The length and diameter of the one-dimensional Cu wire were 5–15 µm and 80–200 nm, respectively. The thickness of the Cu2S nanoflake layer on the surface of the Cu was up to 100 nm. In addition, the Cu/Cu2S system was enriched with MWCNTs. MWCNs with a diameter of 50 nm interact by forming a conductive network around the Cu/Cu2S system and facilitate quick electron transport. Raman spectra also prove good interfacial coupling between the Cu/Cu2S system and MWCNTs, which is crucial for charge separation and electron transfer in PV solar cells. Furthermore, UV studies show that Cu/Cu2S-MWCNTs nanocomposites have a wide absorption band. Thus, MWCNTs, Cu, and Cu2S exhibit an intense absorption spectrum at 260 nm, 590 nm, and 972 nm, respectively. With a broad absorption band spanning the visible–infrared spectrum, the Cu/Cu2S-MWCNTs combination can significantly boost PV solar cells’ power conversion efficiency. Furthermore, UV research demonstrates that the plasmonic character of the material is altered fundamentally when CuS covers the Cu surface. Additionally, MWCN-Cu/Cu2S nanocomposite exhibits hybrid plasmonic phenomena. The bandgap of Cu/Cu2S NWs was found to be approximately 1.3 eV. Regarding electron transfer and electromagnetic radiation absorption, the collective oscillations in plasmonic metal-p-type semiconductor–conductor MWCNT contacts can thus greatly increase energy conversion efficiency. The Cu/Cu2S-MWCNTs nanocomposite is therefore a promising new material for PV solar cell application.

Multifunctional ANF/ CNT/FCIP aerogels with superior sound and electromagnetic wave absorption and mechanical properties

Aerogels exhibit bright prospect for multifunctional applications in noise reduction, radar stealth, load bearing, etc. Existing aerogels however suffer from poor sound absorption at low frequencies, narrow-band electromagnetic wave absorption and low structural strength. Here, we propose a novel lightweight aerogel composed of aromatic polyamide nanofiber (ANF)/ carbon nanotubes (CNT)/ flake carbonyl iron powder (FCIP) to boost acoustic/electromagnetic absorption and mechanical performance simultaneously. The FCIP additives create surface roughness and enlarge the pore size of the aerogel. As a result of the enhanced viscous energy dissipation by surface roughness and better impedance match achieved due to the enlarged pores, sound absorption at low frequency is significantly improved. Besides, the electrically and magnetically conductive network generated by embedded FCIP brings about effective electromagnetic absorption covering the whole X-band. Moreover, the aerogels undergo an increase in skeleton thickness and pore size by FCIP, resulting in maximum compressive stress increment. Our study provides clear guidance for the performance enhancement of aerogels that advances the development of aerogels for multifunctional applications.

High‐efficiency electromagnetic absorption of HfC–SiCf ceramics with a 3D reticular structure

AbstractThe development of high‐temperature electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing materials is an important direction for achieving radar stealth in high‐speed aircraft. In this study, HfC–SiCf composite ceramics with 3D reticular structure were synthesized in one‐step using the molten‐salt‐assisted carbon thermal reduction method. During the synthesis process, SiC grew in situ into a fibrous structure with a diameter of 500 nm and lengths ranging from 2 to 30 µm. By adjusting the molar ratio of HfC to SiC, the HfC‐30 mol% SiC (HS30) exhibited the best EM absorption performance at room temperature, with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −31.4 dB at 16.1 GHz and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.6 GHz. The excellent absorption performance was attributed to the 3D reticular structure composed of SiC fibers, HfC bulk, and HfC nanoparticles, which significantly increased the number of pores and heterogeneous interfaces in the material. These microinterfaces induced interface polarization effects, thereby effectively enhancing the EM absorption. As the temperature increased, the EM absorption performance declined. At 900°C, the HS30 sample exhibited an EAB of 1.18 GHz from 12.4 to 13.58 GHz and an RLmin of 22.6 dB at 13.0 GHz. This research provides references for understanding the effects of material composition and structure on EM absorption performance.

Hollow N doped carbon/SiCN hierarchical structures for thermostable electromagnetic absorptions

Electromagnetic absorption materials present widespread application prospects. The thermal oxidative aging issues for electromagnetic absorption materials have received little attention. In this paper, N-doped carbon tubes, and the SiCN ceramics are combined to realize thermostable electromagnetic absorptions. The hierarchical structures show significantly enhanced broadband electromagnetic absorption with an optimal RL of -53.61 dB at 14 GHz under a thickness of 2 mm. The effective electromagnetic absorption bandwidth reaches 5.53 GHz, and the coverage range is 11.88–17.41 GHz. More importantly, after 1 h calcination at 300 °C, the optimum RL of NCT/SiCN-1 h is still -45.67 dB under the thickness of 2.5 mm. The effective electromagnetic absorption bandwidth increases to 5.95 GHz, and the coverage range is 10.69–16.64 GHz. Our work proves the possibility for improving the thermostable electromagnetic absorptions of carbon materials, and provides referencing ways for the design of thermostable electromagnetic absorption materials.

Fabrication of Nd-Ho Cosubstituted Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 Nanospinel Ferrites and Exploration of Their Microstructure, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Characteristics.

The composition and hyperfine structures of Nd3+-Ho3+ ions cosubstituted CoNi nanospinel ferrites (Co0.5Ni0.5NdxHoxFe2-2xO4 (x ≤ 0.05) NSFs) as well as their magnetic and electrodynamic behavior have been presented. The compound Nd-Ho → CoNiFe2O4 (x ≤ 0.05) NSFs were produced using the sol-gel method. XRD powder patterns indicated phase- and substituent-induced modifications of crystallites. The SEM analysis indicated the homogeneous distribution of grains with Nd-Ho cosubstitution. It was found that the values of x had an impact on the hyperfine magnetic field of the A and B sites. The cation distribution was determined by using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The M-H loops' investigations showed that the current NSFs behave ferrimagnetically at both room and low temperatures. An almost continuous rise in the strength of the coercive field was noticed with a rise in Ho-Nd content. The value of calculated squareness ratio values was above 0.5 at both temperatures, entailing that the studied NSFs' structure is made of single magnetic domains. The electromagnetic characteristics of the samples can be explained by the main contribution to electromagnetic absorption being the electric energy losses. Electromagnetic absorbed materials can be applied to provide electromagnetic compatibility and develop functional electromagnetic shields.

Enhanced SiC/NFG/Ni ternary composite microwave absorbing materials with micro-network structures produced by selective laser sintering

In this paper, a ternary composite wave-absorbing material consisting of silicon carbide (SiC), natural flake graphite (NFG) and nickel (Ni) has been successfully fabricated through a combined process of selective laser sintering (SLS) and vacuum pressure impregnation. The study investigated how the content of SiC powder affected the absorption capacity and mechanical performances of the composites. The findings indicate that as the proportion of SiC powder rises, the porosity of the composites diminishes, while the bending strength increases. As the content of SiC is 40 wt%, the porosity is 52.14 % and the flexure strength is 9.58 MPa, approximately five times greater than that of graphite-type ceramic preforms. The composite’s electromagnetic wave-absorbing capability initially improves and then declines with the increase of SiC content. When the SiC content is 10 wt% and the thickness is 1.5 mm, the composite absorbing material exhibits optimal electromagnetic absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin)of −44.04 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.42 GHz (8.24–13.66 GHz). The composite material, characterized by its lightweight, high strength, and broad frequency range, shows promise for applications in microwave absorption technology.

The influence of eyelashes on electric field distribution and absorbed power density in the cornea under millimeter-wave exposure.

As millimeter wave (MMW) technology, particularly in fifth-generation (5G) devices, gains prominence, there is a crucial need for comprehensive electromagnetic (EM) models of ocular tissues to understand and characterize EM exposure conditions accurately. This study employs numerical modeling to investigate the interaction between MMW and the cornea, aiming to characterize EM field distributions and absorption within an anatomically accurate eye model while considering the influence of eyelashes. Using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we conduct simulations of EM radiation interactions from 20.0 to 100.0 GHz with a human eye model. Moreover, we analyze the temperature distribution increase within the eye model using a thermal sensor in XFdtd, employing a scheme based on the finite difference (FD) method. Our findings reveal a nonuniform distribution of the EM field, particularly intensified in corneal regions adjacent to eyelashes and eyelids. Despite similar EM field patterns, the presence or absence of eyelashes has minimal impact on temperature differences. However, the study highlights increased radiation absorption by the eyelid's epidermis at 100.0 GHz, reducing the rise in the cornea's temperature.

Genome engineering of materials based on Ce doping, high-performance electromagnetic wave absorber for marine environment

Traditional microwave absorbing materials (MAM) are difficult to meet the current increasingly complex electromagnetic environment, MAM began to functionally integrated development to meet the needs of diversified applications. For the high humidity and high salt spray environment of the ocean, the development of electromagnetic absorber integrating microwave absorption (MA) and corrosion protection functions is imminent. In this work, high-quality genes were screened through materials genome engineering, and in-situ doping strategies of Ce gene were designed to synergistically enhance MA properties using composition modulation and structure modulation, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of composite material WC@FCC1 can reach 5.62 GHz at an ultra-thin thickness of 1.66 mm. Thanks to the unique 4f orbital mechanism of Ce element, CeO2 is endowed with excellent redox property, forming an oxide protective film on the surface, which prevents the entry of external corrosive media. The excellent corrosion protection performance of the composite material has been verified through electrochemical testing and molecular dynamics simulation. This work provides new design ideas for high-performance MAM, as well as new strategies and insights for functionally integrated electromagnetic absorber.

Architectural Design of a Multichannel Porous Carbon Fiber for Efficient Electromagnetic Microwave Absorption.

An ingenious microstructure of electromagnetic microwave absorption materials is crucial to achieve strong absorption and a broad bandwidth. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) carbon fibers with implantation of zero-dimensional (0D) ZIF-8-derived carbon frameworks and construction of a three-dimensional (3D) microcosmic multichannel porous structure are fabricated by electro-blown spinning, solvent-thermal reaction, and high-temperature pyrolysis techniques. The 1D carbon fiber skeleton with a multichannel structure provides a direct axial conductive pathway for charge transport, which plays an important role in dielectric loss. The 0D surface carbon frameworks offer plenty of heterogeneous interfaces to trigger intensive interfacial polarization loss and act as dihedral angles for microwave scattering. The 3D microcosmic multichannel pores can not only generate multiple reflections as much as possible to dissipate electromagnetic microwave energy but also supply huge interior cavities to improve impedance matching. Thanks to the synergistic effect of a strong electrically conductive pathway for enhancing the conductive loss, a plenteous heterogeneous interface for triggering intensive interfacial polarization loss, microcosmic multichannel pores for generating multiple reflections and improving impedance matching, and N and O atom doping for inducing dipole polarization, the optimal sample with an ingenious microstructure delivers an excellent absorption performance of a minimum reflection loss of -35.5 dB at a thickness of 5.0 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.72 GHz (10.96-17.68 GHz) at a thickness of 2.0 mm. Such a well-designed multichannel porous carbon fiber may pave the way for the exploitation of high-performance microwave absorbing materials.

The experimentally established regularities of changes in electromagnetic radiation reflection, transmission and absorption characteristics in the frequency range of 2.0–17.0 GHz of materials are presented. These materials contained powdered activated birch charcoal impregnated with chlorides aqueous solutions (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and sodium chloride). Using the established regularities, it was determined that materials based on powdered activated birch charcoal impregnated with calcium chloride aqueous solution are radioabsorbing if they interact with electromagnetic radiation in the frequency ranges of 3.5–4.5 and 5.5–17.0 GHz. In turn, materials based on powdered activated birch charcoal impregnated with magnesium and sodium chlorides aqueous solutions are radioabsorbing if they interact with electromagnetic radiation in the frequency ranges of 2.0–17.0 and 2.0–7.5 GHz (magnesium chloride solution), 10.0–17.0 GHz (sodium chloride solution). Electromagnetic radiation absorption coefficient values of the studied materials reach 0.95. These materials seem promising for the manufacture of partitions to shield sectors of premises where electronic devices sensitive to electromagnetic interference are located.

The electromagnetic wave-absorbing composites, incorporating strontium hexaferrite and molybdenum disulfide (SrFe12O19-MoS2), are synthesized by mixing in different weight ratios. In the present work, strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) is developed through a low-temperature auto-combustion method while two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process. The materials and their composites undergo analysis using characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) to assess their structural, morphological, and magnetic properties, respectively. The minimal reflection loss (RLmin) of – 47.35 dB is observed at 8.66 GHz for the SrFe12O19-MoS2 (50 %-50 %) composite cast into pellets for microwave absorption analysis in the X-band frequency range. This RLmin is obtained with a sample thickness of 1.7 mm. An adequate bandwidth of 3.1 GHz, representing 77.5 % of the entire X band, is observed for a loss below −10 dB. The synergistic interaction between magnetism and dielectricity makes it an efficient electromagnetic absorber for modern technologies.
