Surface‐Spin‐Induced Magnetic Loss Enhancement in Ultralight Electromagnetic Absorbers
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fe3O4 nanoparticles with different hollow rates were synthesized to demonstrate the key role of surface moment in magnetic loss process. Using the same volume filling ratio, the 54.1% hollow Fe3O4 absorber represents about 20% enhancement in the imaginary part (μ'') than solid particles due to the coexisting magnetic resonance of inside and outside ...
