Abstract

This research focuses on the synthesis of a novel Fe₃O₄-BaTiO₃nanocomposite, which serves as a highly effective radar-absorbing material. The synthesis of the Fe₃O₄-BaTiO₃sample was accomplished through wet chemical methods, followed by high-energy mechanical alloying. This study assesses the structural and morphological characteristics of the nanocomposite utilizing X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The findings confirmed a successful reduction of the matrix dimensions to the nanometer scale, accompanied by a homogeneous integration of phases. These optimal heterogeneous nanostructures suggest that the Fe₃O₄-BaTiO₃nanocomposite has considerable potential for the advancement of sophisticated stealth technology.
