The procedure of the inversion is based on the criterion of the least square error in the transmission losses between calculation and measurement. By using the Gauss - Newton iterative approach, the non - linear least square aloqrithm is equivalent to solving a sequence of lineared least square problems. The physical causes of the instability of the inversion problem are discussed and the stability is improved by means of the Levenberg- Marquardt method. Both numerical simulations with noise and experimental results show that the inversion for the bottom reflection loss of small grazing angle has high precision and the certain perturbation in the measured transmission losses does not lead to serious deviation in the inversion result of the bottom reflection loss.展开更多

However, the applica...Developing electromagnetic(EM) wave absorbing materials with low reflection coefficient and optimal operating frequency band is urgently needed on account of the increasingly serious EM pollution. However, the applications of common EM absorbing materials are encumbered by poor high-temperature stability, poor oxidation resistance, narrow absorption bandwidth or high density. Herein, the strong EM absorption capability and wide efficient absorption bandwidth of high entropy ceramics are reported for the first time, which are designed by a combination of the novel high entropy(HE) rare earth silicide carbides/rare earth oxides(RE3 Si2 C2/RE2 O3). Three HE powders, i.e., HERSC-1(HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)3 Si2 C2),HERSC-2 HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)3 Si2 C2/HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)2 O3) and HERSC-3(HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)3 Si2 C2/HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)2 O3), are synthesized. Although HERSC-1 exhibits a limited absorption effect(the minimum reflection loss(RLmin) is-11.6 d B at 3.4 mm) and a relatively narrow effective absorption bandwidth(EAB) of 1.7 GHz, the optimal absorption RLminvalue and EAB of HERSC-2 and HERSC-3 are-40.7 d B(at 2.9 mm), 3.4 GHz and-50.9 d B(at 2.0 mm), 4.5 GHz,respectively, demonstrating strong microwave absorption capability and wide absorption bandwidth.Considering the better stability, low density and strong EM absorption effect, HE ceramics are promising as a new type of EM absorbing materials.展开更多

The complex permittivity and permeability of the composites were measured with a vector network analyzer in a 1-4 GHz frequency range, and the DC electric conductivity was measured by a standard four-point contact method. These parameters were then used to calculate the reflection loss （RL） and shielding effectiveness （SE） of the composites. The results showed that the added MWCNT increased the permittivity and permeability of composites in the L-band, while the added graphite increased only the permittivity. The variation lies in the interactions between two carbonous absorbents. Addition of 1 wt% MWCNT enhanced the RL in the L-band （minimum -5.7 dB at 1 ram, -7.3 dB at 1.5 ram）, while the addition of graphite did not. Addition of MWCNT as well as graphite reinforced the shielding property of the composites （maximum SE 13.3 dB at 1 ram, 18.3 dB at 1.5 ram） owing to the increase of conductivity. The addition of these carbonous materials could hold the promise of enforcing the absorption and shielding property of the absorbers.展开更多

Absorbents including MWCNTs and spherical/ flaky CIPs were added to silicone rubber using a two-roll mixer. The complex permittivity and complex permeability were measured over the frequency range of 1-18 GHz. The two EM parameters were verified and the uniform dispersion of MWCNTs and ClPs was confirmed by comparing the measured reflection loss （RL） with the calculated one. As the MWCNT weight percent increased, the RL of the spherical CIPs/silicone rubber composites changed insignificantly. It was attributed to the random distribution of spherical ClPs and less content of MWCNTs. On the contrary, for composites filled with flaky ClPs the absorption bandwidth increased at thickness 0.5 mm （RL value lower than -5 dB in 8-18 GHz） and the absorption ratio increased at lower frequency （minimum -35 dB at 3.5 GHz）. This effect was attributed to the oriented distribution of flaky CIPs caused by interactions between the two absorbents. Therefore, mixing MWCNTs and flaky CIPs could achieve wider-band and higher-absorption ratio absorbing materials.展开更多

The average grain size of SiC was 30 nm. Relationship between SiC content and relative complex permittivity of Si3Na-SiC within the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz （X-band） was investigated. The average real part of relative complex permittivity ε′ of Si3N4-SiC increased from 3.7 to 14.9 and the relative imaginary part ε″ increased from 0.017 to 13.4 when the content of SiC increased from 0 to 10 vol.%. The Si3N4-SiC ceramic with 3 vol.% SiC achieved a reflection loss below -10 dB （90% absorption） at 8.0-11.4 GHz, and the minimum value was -27.1 dB at 9.8 GHz when the sample thickness was 2.5 mm. The excellent microwave absorbing abilities of Si3N4-SiC ceramic were attributed to the interfacial polarization at interface between Si3N4 and SiC and at grain boundary between SiC nanocrystals.展开更多

The influence of the Er substitution on phase structure, morphology, saturation magnetization,electromagnetic parameters was investigated by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM） and vector network analyzer（VNA）,respectively. The results show that the saturation magnetization increases and the average particle size increases with the increase of Er content. The minimum absorption peak frequency shifts towards a lower frequency region with the increase of Er content. The ErxHo2-xFe17 powder can achieve the minimum RL of-24.07 dB at 6.96 GHz with a thickness of 2.0 mm and the minimum RL is less than-20 dB at the thickness range from 2.0 to 3.0 mm. The minimum RL of ErxHo2-xFe17 is-37.26 dB at5.68 GHz and the frequency bandwidth of R〈-10 dB reaches about 1.2 GHz with a thickness of 2.4 mm.And the microwave absorbing properties of the composite with different weight ratios of Er0.3Ho1.7Fe17/graphene were researched. The microwave absorbing peaks of the composite shift to lower frequency with the increase of graphene content. The values of the minimum RL of ErxHo2-xFe17/graphene are close to-10 dB with absorbing coating thicknesses increased.展开更多

Dielectric permittivity, electromagnetic interference （EMI） shielding and absorption properties of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics were studied as a function of Ni content at 8.2-12.4 GHz （X-band）. When Ni nanoparticles were added into phenolic resin, the electric conductivity of the prepared composite ceramics decreased with increasing Ni content, which was attributed to the decrease of graphitization degree of PyC. The decrease in electric conductivity led to the decrease in both permittivity and EMI shielding effectiveness. Since too high permittivity is harmful to the impendence match and results in the strong reflection, the electromagnetic wave absorption property of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics increases with increasing Ni content. When the content of Ni nanoparticles added into phenolic resin was 2 wt%, the composite ceramics possessed the lowest electric conductivity and displayed the most excellent absorption property with a minimum reflection loss as low as -28.9 dB.展开更多

Microwave electromag- netic parameters and reflection loss in a frequency range of 2 GHz-18 GHz for paraffin-Ni（C） composites are investigated. The values of relative complex permittivity and permeability, the dielectric and magnetic loss tangent of paraffin-Ni（C） com- posites are measured, respectively, when the weight ratios of Ni（C） nanoparticles are equal to 10 wt%, 40 wt%, 50 wt%, 70 wt%, and 80 wt% in paraffin-Ni（C） composites. The results reveal that Ni（C） nanoparticles exhibit a peak of magnetic loss at about 13 GHz, suggesting that magnetic loss and a natural resonance could be found at that frequency. Based on the measured complex permittivity and permeability, the reflection losses of paraffin-Ni（C） composites with different weight ratios of Ni（C） nanoparticles and coating thickness values are simulated according to the transmission line theory. An ex- cellent microwave absorption is obtained. To be proved by the experimental results, the reflection loss of composite with a coating thickness of 2 mm is measured by the Arch method. The results indicate that the maximum reflection loss reaches -26.73 dB at 12.7 GHz, and below -10 dB, the bandwidth is about 4 GHz. The fact that the measured absorption position is consistent with the calculated results suggests that a good electromagnetic match and a strong microwave absorption can be established in Ni（C） nanoparticles. The excellent Ni（C） microwave absorber is prepared by choosing an optimum layer number and the weight ratio of Ni（C） nanoparticles in paraffin-Ni（C） composites.展开更多

The annealing process enlarges the grain size of both the metal Ni and insulating Al2O3 in the as-milled nanocomposite and leads to an increase of the saturation magnetization and a decrease of the surface anisotropy. An optimal reflection loss （RL） of -23 dB is obtained in the as-milled nanocomposite at 17.8 GHz for an absorber thickness of 6.6 mm. The annealed sample exhibits a RL exceeding -20 dB in the whole Ku-band for an absorber thickness of 6.6-9.7 mm with an optimal RL of -54.7 dB at 13.2 GHz for a layer thickness of 9.3 mm. The excellent microwave-absorption properties are a consequence of a proper match of the dielectric and magnetic losses.展开更多

Adding cetyltrimethylammoniumchloride （CTAC）, adsorptive energy of substrate surface increased, and smooth surface and uniform columnar film structures were observed. The optimum reaction temperature up to 85℃ and pH up to 7.5 were obtained. As the solution pH value increases from 6.5 to 7.5, the film saturation magnetization increases to 36.1 and the imaginary part μ″ up to 53.2 for NiZn ferrite film at 500 MHz were achieved, and higher magnetic resonance at 508 MHz was observed. As the ferrite plate thickness is 50 μm, the attenuating characteristics for reflection loss ≤-0.8 dB can be obtained in the wide frequency ranging from 0.5 to 2.7 GHz. Theμ″ of thin film has values higher than 20 at the frequencies between 0.5 and 2 GHz, and the thin film can be applied as shielding material in GHz range.展开更多

文摘The development of microwave absorption materials(MAMs) is a considerable important topic because our living space is crowed with electromagnetic wave which threatens human’s health.And MAMs are also used in radar stealth for protecting the weapons from being detected.Many nanomaterials were studied as MAMs,but not all of them have the satisfactory performance.Recently,metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) have attracted tremendous attention owing to their tunable chemical structures,diverse properties,large specific surface area and uniform pore distribution.MOF can transform to porous carbon(PC) which is decorated with metal species at appropriate pyrolysis temperature.However,the loss mechanism of pure MOF-derived PC is often relatively simple.In order to further improve the MA performance,the MOFs coupled with other loss materials are a widely studied method.In this review,we summarize the theories of MA,the progress of different MOF-derived PC-based MAMs,tunable chemical structures incorporated with dielectric loss or magnetic loss materials.The different MA performance and mechanisms are discussed in detail.Finally,the shortcomings,challenges and perspectives of MOF-derived PC-based MAMs are also presented.We hope this review could provide a new insight to design and fabricate MOF-derived PC-based MAMs with better fundamental understanding and practical application.

文摘Developing electromagnetic(EM) wave absorbing materials with low reflection coefficient and optimal operating frequency band is urgently needed on account of the increasingly serious EM pollution. However, the applications of common EM absorbing materials are encumbered by poor high-temperature stability, poor oxidation resistance, narrow absorption bandwidth or high density. Herein, the strong EM absorption capability and wide efficient absorption bandwidth of high entropy ceramics are reported for the first time, which are designed by a combination of the novel high entropy(HE) rare earth silicide carbides/rare earth oxides(RE3 Si2 C2/RE2 O3). Three HE powders, i.e., HERSC-1(HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)3 Si2 C2),HERSC-2 HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)3 Si2 C2/HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)2 O3) and HERSC-3(HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)3 Si2 C2/HE(Tm0.2 Y0.2 Dy0.2 Gd0.2 Tb0.2)2 O3), are synthesized. Although HERSC-1 exhibits a limited absorption effect(the minimum reflection loss(RLmin) is-11.6 d B at 3.4 mm) and a relatively narrow effective absorption bandwidth(EAB) of 1.7 GHz, the optimal absorption RLminvalue and EAB of HERSC-2 and HERSC-3 are-40.7 d B(at 2.9 mm), 3.4 GHz and-50.9 d B(at 2.0 mm), 4.5 GHz,respectively, demonstrating strong microwave absorption capability and wide absorption bandwidth.Considering the better stability, low density and strong EM absorption effect, HE ceramics are promising as a new type of EM absorbing materials.

文摘Silicone rubber composites filled with FeSiAI alloys and multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNT）/graphite have been prepared for the first time by a coating process. The complex permittivity and permeability of the composites were measured with a vector network analyzer in a 1-4 GHz frequency range, and the DC electric conductivity was measured by a standard four-point contact method. These parameters were then used to calculate the reflection loss （RL） and shielding effectiveness （SE） of the composites. The results showed that the added MWCNT increased the permittivity and permeability of composites in the L-band, while the added graphite increased only the permittivity. The variation lies in the interactions between two carbonous absorbents. Addition of 1 wt% MWCNT enhanced the RL in the L-band （minimum -5.7 dB at 1 ram, -7.3 dB at 1.5 ram）, while the addition of graphite did not. Addition of MWCNT as well as graphite reinforced the shielding property of the composites （maximum SE 13.3 dB at 1 ram, 18.3 dB at 1.5 ram） owing to the increase of conductivity. The addition of these carbonous materials could hold the promise of enforcing the absorption and shielding property of the absorbers.

文摘The preparation of functional material titanium carbide by the carbothermal reduction of Ti-bearing blast furnace slag with microwave heating is an effective method for valuable metals recovery;it can alleviate the environmental pressure caused by slag stocking.The dynamic dielectric parameters of Ti-bearing blast furnace slag/pulverized coal mixture under high-temperature heating are measured by the cylindrical resonant cavity perturbation method.Combining the transient dipole and large π bond delocalization polarization phenomena, the interaction mechanism of the microwave macroscopic non-thermal effect on the titanium carbide synthesis reaction was revealed.The material thickness range during microwave heating was optimized by the joint analysis of penetration depth and reflection loss, which is of great significance to the design of the microwave reactor for the carbothermal reduction of Ti-bearing blast furnace slag.

文摘The electromagnetic （EM） wave absorbing property of silicone rubber filled with carbonyl iron particles （CIPs） and multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） was examined. Absorbents including MWCNTs and spherical/ flaky CIPs were added to silicone rubber using a two-roll mixer. The complex permittivity and complex permeability were measured over the frequency range of 1-18 GHz. The two EM parameters were verified and the uniform dispersion of MWCNTs and ClPs was confirmed by comparing the measured reflection loss （RL） with the calculated one. As the MWCNT weight percent increased, the RL of the spherical CIPs/silicone rubber composites changed insignificantly. It was attributed to the random distribution of spherical ClPs and less content of MWCNTs. On the contrary, for composites filled with flaky ClPs the absorption bandwidth increased at thickness 0.5 mm （RL value lower than -5 dB in 8-18 GHz） and the absorption ratio increased at lower frequency （minimum -35 dB at 3.5 GHz）. This effect was attributed to the oriented distribution of flaky CIPs caused by interactions between the two absorbents. Therefore, mixing MWCNTs and flaky CIPs could achieve wider-band and higher-absorption ratio absorbing materials.

文摘Si3N4-SiC composite ceramics were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration using porous Si3Na ceramic as preform. The average grain size of SiC was 30 nm. Relationship between SiC content and relative complex permittivity of Si3Na-SiC within the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz （X-band） was investigated. The average real part of relative complex permittivity ε′ of Si3N4-SiC increased from 3.7 to 14.9 and the relative imaginary part ε″ increased from 0.017 to 13.4 when the content of SiC increased from 0 to 10 vol.%. The Si3N4-SiC ceramic with 3 vol.% SiC achieved a reflection loss below -10 dB （90% absorption） at 8.0-11.4 GHz, and the minimum value was -27.1 dB at 9.8 GHz when the sample thickness was 2.5 mm. The excellent microwave absorbing abilities of Si3N4-SiC ceramic were attributed to the interfacial polarization at interface between Si3N4 and SiC and at grain boundary between SiC nanocrystals.

文摘In this paper,polycrystalline samples of Bi_(1-x)Sm_(x)FeO_(3)(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.15) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel method.The effects of Sm concentration on the crystal structure,morphology,chemical states,magnetic properties and microwave absorption performance were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and a Vector network analyzer(VNA),respectively.The results show that the rare earth Sm doping causes the crystal structure to change.When x≤0.1,Bi_(1-x)Sm_(x)FeO_(3) is the distorted rhombohedral structure with space group R3c.With the increase of Sm doping amount to x=0.15,the phase structure of Bi_(1-x)Sm_(x)FeO_(3) changes from rhombohedral structure to cubic structure with the space group Pm3 m.The particle size decreases with the increase of the Sm doping amount.The analysis results show that Sm doping can effectively reduce the oxygen vacancies and significantly improve its magnetic properties.The results exhibit that moderately doped rare earth Sm element can effectively improve microwave absorption properties of Bi_(1-x)Sm_(x)FeO_(3) powders.When Sm doping amount of x is 0.1,the Bi_(0.9)Sm_(0.1)FeO_(3) compound has good microwave absorption performance,and the minimum reflection loss value of Bi_(0.9)Sm_(0.1)FeO_(3) powder reaches about-32.9 dB at11.7 GHz,and its effective absorption bandwidth(RL <-10 dB) is 2.6 GHz with the optimal matching thickness of 2.0 mm.

文摘The ErxHo（2-x）Fe（17）（x = 0.0, 0.1,0.2, 0.3, 0.4） powders were prepared by arc melting and high energy ball milling method. The influence of the Er substitution on phase structure, morphology, saturation magnetization,electromagnetic parameters was investigated by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM） and vector network analyzer（VNA）,respectively. The results show that the saturation magnetization increases and the average particle size increases with the increase of Er content. The minimum absorption peak frequency shifts towards a lower frequency region with the increase of Er content. The ErxHo2-xFe17 powder can achieve the minimum RL of-24.07 dB at 6.96 GHz with a thickness of 2.0 mm and the minimum RL is less than-20 dB at the thickness range from 2.0 to 3.0 mm. The minimum RL of ErxHo2-xFe17 is-37.26 dB at5.68 GHz and the frequency bandwidth of R〈-10 dB reaches about 1.2 GHz with a thickness of 2.4 mm.And the microwave absorbing properties of the composite with different weight ratios of Er0.3Ho1.7Fe17/graphene were researched. The microwave absorbing peaks of the composite shift to lower frequency with the increase of graphene content. The values of the minimum RL of ErxHo2-xFe17/graphene are close to-10 dB with absorbing coating thicknesses increased.

文摘The composites of Ce-Co-based alloys doped with La content were fabricated via a vacuum arc melting method.The influences of La addition on microstructure,electromagnetic parameters,magnetic property and microwave absorbing property were measured by the corresponding equipment.The morphology characteristics manifest that all samples display sheet structure,and the average particle size of alloy powders increases with increasing La content The saturation magnetization(MS) decreases with increasing La addition as a whole.The minimum reflection loss(RL) of La0.4Ce1.6Co17 alloy powder about-42.29 dB can be obtained about-42.29 dB at 7.84 GHz with the matching thickness of 1.8 mm,and the corresponding effective bandwidth can achieve about 2.24 GHz.In addition,the minimum RL frequency moves towards a lower frequency region as the La content increases.The minimum RL of La0.3Ce1.7Co17alloy powder is less than-20 dB ranging from 1.2 to 2.4 mm in the whole 4-16 GHz.The maximum bandwidth can reach about 4.88 GHz at the given thickness of 1.2 mm.In general,these all indicate that the La addition is beneficial to improving the microwave absorbing performance in both effective bandwidth and absorption intensity.

文摘Pyrolytic carbon （PyC） was infiltrated into silicon nitride （Si3N4） ceramics by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis （PIP） of phenolic resin, and Ni nanoparticles were added into the phenolic resin to change the electric conductivity of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics. Dielectric permittivity, electromagnetic interference （EMI） shielding and absorption properties of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics were studied as a function of Ni content at 8.2-12.4 GHz （X-band）. When Ni nanoparticles were added into phenolic resin, the electric conductivity of the prepared composite ceramics decreased with increasing Ni content, which was attributed to the decrease of graphitization degree of PyC. The decrease in electric conductivity led to the decrease in both permittivity and EMI shielding effectiveness. Since too high permittivity is harmful to the impendence match and results in the strong reflection, the electromagnetic wave absorption property of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics increases with increasing Ni content. When the content of Ni nanoparticles added into phenolic resin was 2 wt%, the composite ceramics possessed the lowest electric conductivity and displayed the most excellent absorption property with a minimum reflection loss as low as -28.9 dB.

文摘With the combination of the dielectric loss of the carbon layer with the magnetic loss of the ferromagnetic metal core, carbon-coated nickel （Ni（C）） nanoparticles are expected to be the promising microwave absorbers. Microwave electromag- netic parameters and reflection loss in a frequency range of 2 GHz-18 GHz for paraffin-Ni（C） composites are investigated. The values of relative complex permittivity and permeability, the dielectric and magnetic loss tangent of paraffin-Ni（C） com- posites are measured, respectively, when the weight ratios of Ni（C） nanoparticles are equal to 10 wt%, 40 wt%, 50 wt%, 70 wt%, and 80 wt% in paraffin-Ni（C） composites. The results reveal that Ni（C） nanoparticles exhibit a peak of magnetic loss at about 13 GHz, suggesting that magnetic loss and a natural resonance could be found at that frequency. Based on the measured complex permittivity and permeability, the reflection losses of paraffin-Ni（C） composites with different weight ratios of Ni（C） nanoparticles and coating thickness values are simulated according to the transmission line theory. An ex- cellent microwave absorption is obtained. To be proved by the experimental results, the reflection loss of composite with a coating thickness of 2 mm is measured by the Arch method. The results indicate that the maximum reflection loss reaches -26.73 dB at 12.7 GHz, and below -10 dB, the bandwidth is about 4 GHz. The fact that the measured absorption position is consistent with the calculated results suggests that a good electromagnetic match and a strong microwave absorption can be established in Ni（C） nanoparticles. The excellent Ni（C） microwave absorber is prepared by choosing an optimum layer number and the weight ratio of Ni（C） nanoparticles in paraffin-Ni（C） composites.

文摘Ni/Al2O3 nanocomposites were prepared by the mechanochemical synthesis method. The annealing process enlarges the grain size of both the metal Ni and insulating Al2O3 in the as-milled nanocomposite and leads to an increase of the saturation magnetization and a decrease of the surface anisotropy. An optimal reflection loss （RL） of -23 dB is obtained in the as-milled nanocomposite at 17.8 GHz for an absorber thickness of 6.6 mm. The annealed sample exhibits a RL exceeding -20 dB in the whole Ku-band for an absorber thickness of 6.6-9.7 mm with an optimal RL of -54.7 dB at 13.2 GHz for a layer thickness of 9.3 mm. The excellent microwave-absorption properties are a consequence of a proper match of the dielectric and magnetic losses.
文摘Spinel NiZn ferrite thin films were prepared on glass substrates by spray plating method. Adding cetyltrimethylammoniumchloride （CTAC）, adsorptive energy of substrate surface increased, and smooth surface and uniform columnar film structures were observed. The optimum reaction temperature up to 85℃ and pH up to 7.5 were obtained. As the solution pH value increases from 6.5 to 7.5, the film saturation magnetization increases to 36.1 and the imaginary part μ″ up to 53.2 for NiZn ferrite film at 500 MHz were achieved, and higher magnetic resonance at 508 MHz was observed. As the ferrite plate thickness is 50 μm, the attenuating characteristics for reflection loss ≤-0.8 dB can be obtained in the wide frequency ranging from 0.5 to 2.7 GHz. Theμ″ of thin film has values higher than 20 at the frequencies between 0.5 and 2 GHz, and the thin film can be applied as shielding material in GHz range.
