| description | Research into Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) has increased exponentially over
the last decade. One main reason is due to the proliferation of the use of stealth
technology in armed forces globally. RAM coatings have been found to be an
efficient way of reducing Radar Cross Section (RCS) by converting incident radar
waves into alternative forms of energy. However, there have been limited studies
done thus far on nano-scale RAM and its radar wave capabilities. Hence, this report
aims to fill the gap by providing analysis on how Silica coated Cobalt-Iron
Nanoparticles (CoFe2@SiO2) and Silica Coated Iron Nanoparticles (Fe@SiO2), which
can be used as RAM, are able to improve and enhance present day high performance
radar wave attenuation technology. This will also provide the opportunity whereby a
direct comparison of the radar wave attenuation capability can be made between both
CoFe2@SiO2 and Fe@SiO2 nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by
XRD, TEM, FTIR and VNA. Results obtained have concurred with the available
literatures. Thus, though both CoFe2@SiO2 and Fe@SiO2 nanoparticles have the
potential to be excellent RAM, however greater promise lies with the use of
CoFe2@SiO2 as a RAM. |
