Coupling of 0D/1D Grain Boundaries Inducing Extreme Charge Rearrangement/Magnetic Resonance for Ultrabroadband Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The 0D/1D grain boundary coupling between Fe₃O₄ quantum dots and CNTs induces extreme charge redistribution and short‐range magnetic resonance, enabling complete electromagnetic wave absorption across the entire X and Ku bands. ABSTRACT Ferrite–carbon composites effectively absorb electromagnetic (EM) waves via coupled mechanisms.
