| abstract |
A radio wave absorbent comprises, as a main component, a manganese-nickel-copper-zinc system ferrite comprising 2.0 to 14.5 mol% of nickel oxide, 3.5 to 17.0 mol% of copper oxide, 30.0 to 33.0 mol% of zinc oxide, 0.5 to 10.0 mol% of manganese oxide, and 40.0 to 50.5 mol% of iron oxide. By virtue of the above-mentioned composition, the radio wave absorbent of the present invention is advantageous not only in that the reflectivity in a wide frequency band of from a low frequency is -20 dB or less, but also in that the matching thickness is small, thus enabling lowering of the production cost. |
