Electromagnetic (EM) waves in the millimeter wave range (30–300 GHz) are beginning to be used in electronic devices for high-speed wireless communication such as in local-area networks and radars for the distance between cars.[1] Particularly, millimeter waves at frequencies of 35, 94, and 140 GHz have high transparency in the air (the so-called window of the air) and are useful for wireless communication. The development of complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices has also accelerated the use of EM waves in these bands.[2] However, currently materials that effectively restrain electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the region of millimeter waves almost do not exist.[3] Thus, finding a suitable material has received much attention. Insulating magnetic materials absorb EM waves owing to ferromagnetic resonance. Particularly, a magnetic material with a large coercive field (Hc) is expected to show a high-frequency resonance. In recent years, a single phase of ε-Fe2O3 nanomagnet has been isolated. This nanomagnet has an extremely large Hc value of 20 kOe at room temperature.[4–7] Herein, we report a new EM absorber composed of ε-GaxFe2ÀxO3 (0.10 x 0.67) nanomagnets, which shows a ferromagnetic resonance in the region of 35–147 GHz. In addition, the possibility that the ferromagnetic resonance can achieve a frequency of about 190 GHz at x! 0 is also suggested.A new series of ε-GaxFe2ÀxO3 (0.10 x 0.67) nanoparticles was synthesized by the combination of reversemicelle and sol–gel techniques or only the sol–gel method (see the Experimental Section).
