ABSTRACT
The absorption of waves of the centimeter and millimeter wavebands in composites with Finemet alloy particles and carbon nanotubes has been studied. It has been established that ferromagnetic resonance and antiresonance are observed in such composites. A method is proposed for calculating the effective dynamic magnetic permeability of a composite containing both a random distribution of ferromagnetic particles and a part of the particles oriented in the same way. In the approximation of effective parameters, the dependences of the transmission and reflection coefficients of microwaves are calculated. It is shown that the theoretical calculation confirms the existence of resonant features of these dependences caused by ferromagnetic resonance and antiresonance. The theory based on the introduction of effective parameters satisfactorily describes the course of the field dependence of the coefficients and the presence of resonance features in these dependences. The frequency dependence of the complex permittivity of the composite is determined. The dependence of the complex magnetic permeability on the magnetic field for millimeter-wave frequencies is calculated.

ABSTRACT
The magnetic and microwave properties of nanocomposites containing iron particles encapsulated in a carbon shell (Fe@C), as well as carbon nanotubes (CNT), have been experimentally studied. The examination of magnetic properties of composites shows that the materials under study contain a ferromagnetic component. The availability of ferromagnetic ordering for the dielectric matrix-based nanocomposite sample with Fe@C particles has been confirmed by the measurement results of the transmission and the reflection coefficients of the microwaves, since the ferromagnetic resonance has been observed. Furthermore, in the fields less than the field of ferromagnetic resonance, there are the signs of the presence of ferromagnetic antiresonance. The ferromagnetic resonance leads to minima in the transmission and reflection coefficients, whereas the antiresonance, conversely, leads to maxima in the reflection coefficient. The measurement results have been compared with the theoretical calculations of the field dependence of microwave transmission and reflection coefficients.
ABSTRACT
Propagation of microwaves is studied in a composite material containing flakes of Fe-Si-Nb-Cu-B alloy placed into an epoxyamine matrix. The theory is worked out, which permits to calculate the coefficients of the dynamic magnetic permeability tensor and the effective magnetic permeability of the transversely magnetized composite. The measurements of magnetic field dependences of the transmission and reflection coefficients were carried out at frequencies from 12 to 38 GHz. Comparison between calculated and measured coefficients were conducted, which show that the calculation reproduces all main features of the resonance variations caused by ferromagnetic resonance and antiresonance. The dissipation of microwave power was calculated and measured. It is shown that the penetration depth of the electromagnetic field increases under antiresonance condition and decreases under resonance.
ABSTRACT
The microwave properties of a composite material containing flakes of finemet-type nanocrystalline alloy placed in the epoxy matrix have been investigated. Two compositions have been studied: with 15% and 30% flakes. Frequency dependences of transmission and reflection coefficients are measured in the frequency range from 12 to 38 GHz. The dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability are obtained, and the microwave losses are calculated. The dependences of transmission and reflection coefficients have been drawn as functions of wave frequency and thickness of the composite material, taking into account the frequency dependences of permittivity and permeability. The regions of maximal and minimal microwave absorption have been defined. The influence of wave interference on the frequency dependence of microwave absorption is studied.
