Graphene-Based Sandwich Structures for Frequency Selectable Electromagnetic Shielding

Abstract

Due to substantial development of electronics and telecommunication techniques, materials with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance are significant in alleviating the interference impacts induced from a remarkable variety of devices. In the work, we propose novel sandwich structures for manipulating the EM wave transport, which holds unique EMI shielding features of frequency selectivity. By employing electrical and magnetic loss spacers, the resultant sandwich structures are endowed with tunable EMI shielding performance, showing substantial improvements in overall shielding effectiveness along with pronounced shielding peak shift. The mechanisms suggest that the multiple interfaces, electromagnetic loss media, and changes of representative EM wavelength could be critical roles in tailoring the EMI shielding performance. The results provide a versatile strategy that could be extended in other frequency ranges and various types of sandwich structures, promising great opportunities for designing and fabricating advanced electromagnetic attenuation materials and devices.

“…On the basis of the fundamental principles of electromagnetic interference shielding materials, the main mechanism involves reflection, multiple reflections, and absorption. In the absorption-dominant shielding material, the electrical conductivity and the electric dipole are important factors for electric materials, and the existence of magnetic dipoles is a critical factor for the magnetic materials [3].…”

“…Favorable electrical or magnetic conductivity is a necessary characteristic of shielding materials. Because an electromagnetic wave has both electric and magnetic field components, high conductivity is as important as permeability (Song et al, 2017). For high-frequency EMI (higher than 30 MHz), the conductivity of shielding materials is far more important than their permeability.…”
