The magnetic and microwave absorption properties of the interstitial atom modified intermetallic compound Ce{sub 2}Fe{sub 17}N{sub X} have been investigated. The Ce{sub 2}Fe{sub 17}N{sub X} compound shows a planar anisotropy with saturation magnetization of 1088 kA/m at room temperature. The Ce{sub 2}Fe{sub 17}N{sub X} paraffin composite with a mass ratio of 1:1 exhibits a permeability of μ′ = 2.7 at low frequency, together with a reflection loss of −26 dB at 6.9 GHz with a thickness of 1.5 mm and −60 dB at 2.2 GHz with a thickness of 4.0 mm. It was found that this composite increases the Snoek limit and exhibits both high working frequency and permeability due to its high saturation magnetization and high ratio of the c-axis anisotropy field to the basal plane anisotropy field. Hence, it is possible that this composite can be used as a high-performance thin layer microwave absorber.
