In this present work, we propose and demonstrate a resonant structure that solves two major problems related to the split-ring resonator structure. One of the problems related to the split-ring resonator structure is the bianisotropy, and the other problem is the electric coupling to the magnetic resonance of the split-ring resonator structure. These two problems introduce difficulties in obtai...

Abstract This study presents the preparation of magnetic carbon nanocomposites (MCNCs) through a two-step procedure: (i) in situ co-precipitation magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles into four different carbonaceous matrixes and (ii) post-pyrolysis treatment to coat core. Four MCNCs were obtained: MACP (post-pyrolyzed activated carbon), MCCP charcoal), MHCP OR hydrochar from orange residue), MBC...
