Complex permeability and microwave absorbing properties of planar anisotropy carbonyl-iron/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 composite in quasimicrowave band

Planar anisotropy carbonyl-iron (PACI)/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 composite as absorbent filler in quasimicrowave band has been synthesized via ball-milling technique and solvothermal method. The effective permeability of the composite was measured and calculated. The result indicates that the magnetic loss in the composite is mainly caused by the natural resonance. Compared with the uncoated PACI particles, the permittivity of the composite decreased dramatically, and hence a dramatic enhancement of reflection loss (RL) was obtained in quasimicrowave band. This result indicates that our PACI/ferrite composite can be used as potential microwave absorbers in quasimicrowave band for its novel microwave properties.
