Microstructure,phase, magnetic properties,and electromagnetic wave absorption of graphene oxide – Ni0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 – Al2O3 aerogel

In this work, an ultralight nanocomposite of graphene oxide aerogels as a matrix and nickel-zinc ferrite (Ni_0.7Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄) nanoparticles as a second phase for the absorption of electromagnetic waves in the frequency of 1–18 GHz were fabricated by the hydrothermal - freeze-drying method. α-Al₂O₃ nanoparticles were used for further impedance matching for applications in electromagnetic wave absorption. XRD, SEM, EDS, and VNA analyses were used to characterize the sample. The effects of the amount of Ni_0.7Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄ (NZF) nanoparticles (GO: NZF volume percent ratio = 5:1 and 2:1) on the absorption of electromagnetic waves were investigated.     

Effects of Sm-doping on microstructure,magnetic and microwave absorption properties of BiFeO_3

In this paper,polycrystalline samples of Bi_(1-x)Sm_xFeO~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_xFeO_3 is the distorted rhombohedral structure with space group R3 c.With the increase of Sm doping amount to x=0.15,the phase structure of Bi_(1-x)Sm_xFeO_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_xFeO_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.     

Silica-based ceramics toward electromagnetic microwave absorption

Silica-based ceramics have been explored extensively as a class of versatile materials for various applications in architecture, catalysis, energy, machinery, and biomedical engineering. Nevertheless, comprehensive information on silica-based ceramic and electromagnetic microwave (EMW) absorption is scarce, although excellent progress has been made in this field. Here, recent progress in the investigation of silica-based ceramics toward EMW absorption is reviewed. We first introduced the basis of ceramics (characteristics, classification, synthetic methods, potential applications). Subsequently, the silica-based ceramics, including Si-based oxides and alloys, SiOC/SiC/Si₃N₄/SiCN-based composite, Ti₃SiC₂ and composite for EMW absorption were systematically summarized. Notably, the fabrication strategies, absorption properties, and mechanisms of silica-based ceramics are described in detail, with a focus on structure and component design. Lastly, the prospects and ongoing challenges of this field in the future are presented. This review is expected to learn from the past and achieve progress toward the future of silica-based ceramic for EMW absorption.     

Targeted design of polyaniline-graphene oxide,barium-strontium titanate,hard-soft ferrite,and polyester multi-phase nanocomposite for highly efficient microwave absorption

The current paper focuses on synthesizing a high-efficiency microwave absorber via incorporating the nanofillers of graphene oxide-polyaniline (GO-PANI), barium-strontium titanate (BST), and soft-hard ferrite within the polyester matrix. The nanocomposite magnets of (Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Fe₁₂O₁₉)_1-x hard/(CoFe₂O₄)_x soft (x = 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8) were prepared using sol-gel auto-combustion method. The GO-PANI and BST were successfully synthesized by in situ polymerization and improved polymerization, respectively. The phase structure, chemical structure, morphology, and microwave absorption properties of the synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM), vector network analyzer (VNA) techniques, respectively. The results showed that the synergistic effects of the combination of dielectric (BST), conductive (GO-PANI), and magnetic materials (hard-soft ferrites) provided the reflection loss values of less than ?20 dB (>99% absorption) in the X-band region. The minimum reflection loss of ?35 dB (>99.99% absorption) was obtained by the optimal formulation including (Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Fe₁₂O₁₉)_0.2 (CoFe₂O₄)_0.8, and the weight ratio of 1: 2 for both BST/soft-hard ferrite and hard-soft ferrite + BST/GO-PANI with the thickness of 1 mm. According to the results, the thickness factor plays a key role in improving the impedance matching. Consequently, the proposed nanocomposite can be employed as a novel kind of microwave absorbers with good impendence matching and high absorption.

Scattering of guided shear waves in plates with discontinuities

This paper investigates the interaction of the SH0 mode with discontinuities in plate waveguides. The scattered fields are evaluated using a novel method that exploits the principle of reciprocity in elastodynamics. The results obtained compare to those provided by a finite element model. Very good agreement between the analytical and numerical models proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach, enabling us to clearly elucidate the role of the different size and shape parameters involved. The discontinuities considered are single and double sharp reductions of plate height of different amounts and lengths, where both symmetric and nonsymmetric one-sided notch cases are treated. Regimes related to low and high values of the product frequency and height of the plate are investigated, showing the dependence of reflection and transmission coefficients on length and height of the discontinuity, as well as the occurrence of mode conversion. The analytical approach proposed leads to a better understanding of the interaction of guided waves with discontinuities, which may stimulate the application of guided waves to defect sizing rather than to simple detection.     

Multiple-loss-enhanced NiOx@carbon spheres/reduced graphene oxide-based composite for tuneable elimination of electromagnetic signals

In this work, a novel graphene-based ternary composite NiO_x@CS/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) consisting of magnetic nanoparticles (NiO_x) and porous carbon spheres (CS) were successfully synthesised through facile hydrothermal and high-temperature sintering approaches. Owing to the ternary structure, the dielectric and magnetic capacity of the composite was improved. Further, the synergistic effect of two loss mechanisms improves the absorption efficiency of electromagnetic waves. The maximum reflection loss of NiO_x@CS/rGO-20 wt% was ?69.3 dB at 7.2 GHz and the absorption bandwidth with reflection loss below ?10 dB was 4.04 GHz (6.36–10.4 GHz). Hence, the NiO_x@CS/rGO ternary composite with a combination of dielectric and magnetic loss-facilitated absorption provides a new design paradigm for tuneable elimination of electromagnetic signals.     

Observed light yield of scintillation pixels: Extending the two-ray model

In this paper we propose an extended, two dimensional model describing the propagation of scintillation photons inside a cuboid crystal until they reach a PMT window. In the simplest approach the model considers two main reasons for light losses: standard absorption obeying the classical Lambert–Beer law and non-ideal reflectivity of the “mummy” covering formed by several layers of Teflon tape wrapping the sample. Results of the model calculations are juxtaposed with experimental data as well as with predictions of an earlier, one dimensional model.
