Abstract

Ceramic microwave absorbents are of considerable interest for the structural applications with the tailored radar cross-section. The main parameters governing the electromagnetic cross-section are discussed in this paper with the specific interest of the dispersion of Co, Fe (and their alloys) particles in a dielectric aluminosilicate matrix (high Curie temperature, significant absorption in the 0.1–15GHz range) and the advantages of the sol-gel routes for the materials preparation. Three methods have been examined: (i) the first one is the mixing of the (sub)micronic metal powder within a liquid matrix precursor; (ii) the second is the mixing of the alkoxides with an aqueous solution of metal ions; and (iii) the third is the preparation of a porous host matrix impregnated by a concentrated solution of transition metal nitrates. Nanocomposites with diameter 20–200nm were achieved by heating at temperatures between 600 and 1100°C under a H2 atmosphere. The samples were characterized by SEM, TEM, magnetic hysteresis, Mössbauer and Raman spectroscopies and microwave absorption.
