Wave Mechanics of Microwave Absorption Films: Part 2 - Distinguishing Film from Material

Abstract

Abstract A groundbreaking wave mechanics theory for film has emerged, introducing innovative concepts that diverge significantly from the conventional microwave absorption framework. This pioneering theory suggests that optimizing absorption in films can be achieved through the phenomenon of wave cancellation, enabling efficient absorption with materials exhibiting reduced attenuation power and diminished microwave penetration. It delineates a clear distinction between films and materials, offering a streamlined and more relevant theory as a substitute for the often intricate and ambiguous impedance matching concept. By defining the material's attenuation power within the film, this research provides a fresh perspective on physics, conclusively demonstrating that film absorption differs from material attenuation. This constitutes a significant advancement in our understanding of film physics. It also underscores the fundamental difference in physics between film and its constituent material.
