Abstract: In order to compare the absorbing properties of different microwave-absorbing agents and their mixture, this paper has selected two typical microwave-absorbing agents which respectively are carbon fiber resistance microwave-absorbing agents and ferrite magnetism microwave-absorbing agents, and took them as monolayer absorbing materials. Then used MG formula to calculate the effective electromagnetic parameter of their mixture under different proportion at X band, and finally analyzed their absorbing properties separately. Then through contrasting the impedance matching characteristic and attenuation coefficient of the materials, it is proved that adding carbon fiber in ferrite can not improve absorption properties. Although the ability of attenuating electromagnetic wave would be enhanced when resistance materials and magnetism materials are blend with each other, doping will destroy the materials’ impedance matching characteristic because most resistance materials have high permittivity. It makes reflection strengthen and can not improve absorbing properties.

Abstract: The Au/SiO₂ nanocomposite was produced using surface active agent P123, and its optical absorption spectra was measured by spectrophotometer. It was found that the intensity of absorption peak was strengthened and underwent a red-shift as the neutralization reaction time extended. The variation of optical extinction property of one gold particle (GP) with different size had been investigated by Mie theory. It was found that the extinction property of the single spherical GP possessed an obvious size effect. The extinction property of Au/SiO₂ nanocomposite had been analyzed by Maxwell-Garnett (MG) theory. It showed that the extinction peak underwent a red-shift and the extinction intensity was strengthened when the size of gold nanoparticles (GNs) increased. The theoretical and the experimental results show that the extinction property of Au/SiO₂ nanocomposite changes because the scattering effect of GNs are strengthened when their sizes increased by controlling the neutralization reaction time.
