Summary
The accelerated diffusion of technology into consumer electronics, the food industry, textiles, healthcare, aviation, the military, and other sectors has resulted in electromagnetic hot zones throughout our environment. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has become an integral part of the design and manufacturing of electronic goods. Materials that exhibit good EMC or electromagnetic absorption capability have gained significance globally.
The present issue on "Chalcogenide Materials for Microwave absorption" covers the advances in the EMI/EMC technology, manufacturing, materials, mechanisms, and applications that utilize and manipulate electromagnetic waves in the microwave regime. Its scope spans the design and synthesis of novel absorptive materials (such as nanostructures, composites, and metamaterials), theoretical modelling of absorption mechanisms, and practical applications in areas like stealth technology, electromagnetic interference shielding, wireless communication, and energy harvesting. By bringing together interdisciplinary contributions, the issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for both fundamental research and applied innovations that address emerging challenges in microwave science and engineering.
The following are the suggested themes and are not limited to:
1. Fundamental studies on electromagnetic wave–chalcogenide/mateirals interactions in the microwave regime.
2. Innovative material design for enhanced absorption efficiency, bandwidth broadening, and lightweight integration.
3. Applied research in stealth technology, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, wireless communication, energy harvesting, and biomedical applications.
4. Interdisciplinary approaches linking physics, materials science, engineering, and policy perspectives to address emerging challenges in microwave science.
5. Metamaterial absorbers for EMI shielding, functional meta-surfaces, beam steering, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.
