We developed a new strategy, i.e., a seed-assisted method, to fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) SiO2@Fe3O4 core/shell nanorod array/graphene architecture. The fabrication processes involved deposition of β-FeOOH seeds on the graphene surfaces in the ferric nitrate aqueous solution, subsequent growth of β-FeOOH nanorod arrays on the graphene surfaces in the ferric chloride aqueous solution unde...

A metamaterial structure using steel reinforcement and dielectric cubes was designed, which introduced into concrete to improve the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of concrete. near-unit peak at 9.82 GHz generated in simulation experimental results. It is also demonstrated that this absorbing insensitive polarization can operate wide angle incidence.

A nonlinear multiwave model that describes the interaction of an electron beam, plasma waves, and electromagnetic waves in a cold plasma is derived and studied. The derivation, which is based on slow amplitude and phase change approximations, begins with the electromagnetic Lagrangian coupled to an electron beam, a background plasma, and electrostatic and electromagnetic waves. The model obtain...

The intrinsically core/shell structured La(0.6)Sr(0.4)MnO(3) nanoparticles with amorphous shells and ferromagnetic cores have been prepared. The magnetic, dielectric and microwave absorption properties are investigated in the frequency range from 1 to 12 GHz. An optimal reflection loss of -41.1 dB is reached at 8.2 GHz with a matching thickness of 2.2 mm, the bandwidth with a reflection loss le...

In this paper, reduced graphene oxide functionalized with cobalt ferrite nanocomposites (CoFe@rGO) as a novel type of electromagnetic wave (EW) absorbing materials was successfully prepared by a three-step chemical method including hydrothermal synthesis, annealing process and mixing with paraffin. The effect of the sample thickness and the amount of paraffin on the EW absorption properties of ...

We report a method in the framework of surface wave holography to manipulate the electromagnetic wave on the metallic surface for realizing complicated electromagnetic wave transport functionalities in three-dimensional (3D) space. The method allows for direct determination of the metallic surface structure morphology for a given transport functionality, by means of writing desirable object inf...

The paper studies the thermal rise in the human eye caused by time harmonic electromagnetic waves. An eye has been illuminated by a high frequency plane wave with power density 5.0 mW/cm. Such a problem has been considered as an electromagnetic scattering problem since part of EM energy is transmitted to the eye and part of it is reflected. The total electric field inside an eye and related Spe...

Coherent excitation and control of lattice motion by electromagnetic radiation in optical frequency range has been reported through variety of indirect interaction mechanisms with phonon modes. However, coherent phonon excitation by direct interaction of electromagnetic radiation and nuclei has not been demonstrated experimentally in terahertz (THz) frequency range mainly due to the lack of THz...

An exposure system consisting of two long transversal electromagnetic (TEM) cells, operating at a frequency of 900 MHz, is presented and discussed. The set-up allows simultaneous exposure of a significant number of animals (up to 12 mice per cell) in a blind way to a uniform plane wave at a frequency of 900 MHz, for investigating possible biological effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields...

This book chapter is based on the experimental activities conducted mainly at Sapienza University of Rome: Astronautic, Electric and Energetic Engineering Department in collaboration with University of Maryland, Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics (IREAP). A branch of scientific research about composite materials is focused on electromagnetic characterization and subsequen...
