A ferromagnetic γ-Fe2O3–MWCNT composite was prepared by a reverse microemulsion technique, and was transformed to a Fe/Fe3C–MWCNT composite by further heat-treatment in H2atmosphere at 950°C. TEM result suggests that MWCNTs are both surface decorated and filled with γ-Fe2O3or Fe/Fe3C nanoparticles. The saturation magnetization and anisotropy field are particularly strong for Fe/Fe3C–MWCNT. The reflection loss of Fe/Fe3C–MWCNT is better than that of γ-Fe2O3–MWCNT at all frequencies between 2 and 18GHz, resulting from enhanced magnetic loss and better matched characteristic impedance, rather than electric loss, as shown by the complex relative permeability [Formula: see text] and permittivity [Formula: see text] . The microwave absorbing properties can be modulated simply by manipulating the thickness of the prepared Fe/Fe3C–MWCNT composite for application in different frequency bands.
