Abstract

Micromagnetic simulations are applied in order to investigate the effect of shape on the magnetic permeability and loss tangent for Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the frequency range of 0.5 to 20 GHz. Fe3O4 nanoparticles with 6 different shapes and equal volumes are studied in two groups: spherical particles, and prismatic particles with a hexagonal base. Our results show that, generally, elongated particles demonstrate higher microwave magnetic permeability. Moreover, we find that elongation reduces the resonance frequency in prismatic particles, while increases it in spherical ones. These results are important in designing advanced microwave absorbers, as they can be used to predict the effective permeability of a composite medium containing a certain percentage of magnetic nanoparticles.
