Abstract:
The growing demand for microwave absorbers in 5G/6G technologies motivates processing routes that balance matching thickness, attenuation, and temperature response. Here, magnetic field annealing (MFA) is investigated in rGO-supported FeCoNi, FeCoNiCr, and FeCoNiCrCu compositionally complex alloys at 0, 0.5, and 0.95 T. Among the investigated FeCoNiCr samples, the 0.5 T sample exhibits a favorable combination of dielectric and magnetic responses. Reflection loss yields a minimum of -72.30 dB at 1.59 mm, and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 4.40 GHz. At 85°C, the maximum bandwidth is 4.08 GHz, corresponding to 92.7% retention of temperature-specific maxima. Local microscopy, field-associated atomistic modeling, and fixed-composition electronic-structure calculations support an interpretation of the electromagnetic response in terms of Co-centered chemical correlations. Finally, flexible antennas and strain sensors based on this composite demonstrate stable wearable responses, validating this SRO strategy from atomic design to device integration.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
