Abstract

We report that soft magnetic Gd ₅Si ₄ nanoparticles exhibit excellent microwave absorption in the Ku-band (12.4-18 GHz) when dispersed in poly (dimethyl siloxane), PDMS. The minimum experimentally recorded reflection loss (RL) of Gd ₅Si ₄-PDMS nanocomposite is -69 dB, with a large bandwidth for a single 6 mm-thick layer. The bandwidth can be further extended by using a novel design where 1 mm-thick layers of the nanocomposite are arranged into a modified pyramid-shaped absorber. Standard electromagnetic (EM) simulations confirm experimental results.

Enhancement of microwave absorption bandwidth of polymer blend using ferromagnetic gadolinium silicide nanoparticles

Journal Article Bora, Pritom J. ; Gupta, Shalabh ; Pecharsky, Vitalij K. ; ... - Materials Letters

Ferromagnetic gadolinium silicide (Gd ₅Si ₄) nanoparticles significantly enhance the microwave absorption bandwidth of a polymer blend (PVB-PEDOT:PSS). These materials are essentially needed for various military and civilian applications such as X-band (8.2–12.4 GHz) and Ku-band (12.4–18 GHz) absorption. A single 1.2 mm thick layer of PVB-PEDOT:PSS-Gd ₅Si ₄ (PPGS) nanocomposite film demonstrates the most promising bandwidth (8.2–18 GHz) with a minimum reflection loss of -14 dB. Mechanistically, dielectric loss (more »« less

A new method for the preparation of a Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/graphene hybrid material and its applications in electromagnetic wave absorption

Journal Article Wu, Tsung-Yung ; Lu, Kai-Tai ; Peng, Cheng-Hsiung ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Graphical abstract: A microwave-assisted solvothermal process was used to prepare Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles/graphene hybrids, which could be applied as an electromagnetic (EM) radiation absorbent. The absorber, composed of 20 wt% Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/graphene–epoxy, exhibited a dual-frequency reflection characteristic covering the C and Ku bands with maximum reflection losses of less than −20 dB at thicknesses of 4 and 5 mm. - Highlights: • Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/graphene composites were prepared by a microwave-assisted solvothermal route. • Uniform loading of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles on graphene was obtained. • The products as-synthesized show great promise as a microwave absorption material. •more »« less

Preparation, characterization and microwave absorption properties of polyaniline/Co{sub 0.5}Zn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 4} nanocomposite

Journal Article Ma, R.T., E-mail: mrt-1118@163.com ; Zhao, H.T. ; Zhang, G. - Materials Research Bulletin

The polyaniline (PAni)/Co{sub 0.5}Zn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 4} nanocomposite was prepared by an in situ polymerization in an aqueous solution. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The average particle size of the PAni/Co{sub 0.5}Zn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 4} was estimated to be about 70 nm by TEM. The reflection loss (dB) of the nanocomposite was measured at different microwave frequencies in X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz), U-band (12.4-18 GHz) and K-band (18-26.5 GHz) by radar cross-section (RCS) method according to the national standard GJB-2038-94.

The Gd–Ni–Si system has been investigated at 1070 K by X-ray and microprobe analyses. The existence of the known compounds, i.e.: GdNi{sub 10}Si{sub 2}, GdNi{sub 8}Si{sub 3}, GdNi{sub 5}Si{sub 3}, GdNi{sub 7}Si{sub 6}, GdNi{sub 6}Si{sub 6}, GdNi{sub 4}Si, GdNi{sub 2}Si{sub 2}, GdNiSi{sub 3}, Gd{sub 3}Ni{sub 6}Si{sub 2}, GdNiSi, GdNiSi{sub 2}, GdNi{sub 0.4}Si{sub 1.6}, Gd{sub 2}Ni{sub 2.35}Si{sub 0.65}, Gd{sub 3}NiSi{sub 2}, Gd{sub 3}NiSi{sub 3} and Gd{sub 6}Ni{sub 1.67}Si{sub 3}, has been confirmed. Moreover, five new phases have been identified in this system. The crystal structure for four of them has been determined: Gd{sub 2}Ni{sub 16−12.8}Si{sub 1−4.2} (Th{sub 2}Zn{sub 17}-type), GdNi{sub 6.6}Si{submore »« less

Investigating phase transition temperatures of size separated gadolinium silicide magnetic nanoparticles

Journal Article Hunagund, Shivakumar G. ; Harstad, Shane M. ; El-Gendy, Ahmed A. ; ... - AIP Advances

Gadolinium silicide (Gd ₅Si ₄) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit different properties compared to their parent bulk materials due to finite size, shape, and surface effects. NPs were prepared by high energy ball-milling of the as-cast Gd ₅Si ₄ ingot and size separated into eight fractions using time sensitive sedimentation in an applied dc magnetic field with average particle sizes ranging from 700 nm to 82 nm. The largest Gd ₅Si ₄ NPs order ferromagnetically at 316 K. A second anomaly observed at 110 K can be ascribed to a Gd ₅Si ₃ impurity. Here as the particle sizes decrease, the volumemore »« less
