Experimental study of microwave absorption properties of the LZCF nanocomposite (Li0.32Zn0.26Cu0.1Fe2.32O4 )

We study the light absorption properties of the nanocomposite of Li-Zn-Cu-Ferrite (Li Zn Cu Fe O , LZCF 0.32 0.26 0.1 2.32 4 ) in the X-band region (8.2-12.4 GHz) of microwaves. The nanocomposite wassynthesized by the sol–gel ignition method and then characterized by crystallography and electron microscopy.Theresults indicates formation of crystalline phase of the nanocomposite including the characterization peaks of Li and Znand ferrite. We also measured the microwave absorption spectrum of the samples by a vector network analyzer.Theresults indicate that the absorption of the samples can reach up to -3.1 dB.
