Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In this equation, δ is skin depth in meters (m); ρ is resistivity in ohm meter (∩·m); f is frequency of an electromagnetic radiation in hertz (Hz); μ0 is permeability; and μr is relative permeability of the NiCr metallic material. The metallic component may be a discrete metallic particle or a layer in a multilayer thin film.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A discrete metallic particle comprising: a metallic component comprising NiCr, wherein the discrete metallic particle has a thickness from 50 nm to 1000 nm, and the discrete metallic particle has a skin depth δ of greater than or equal to 1.0 μm in a frequency range from 20-40 GHz, as calculated by: δ = 2 ⁢ ⁢ ρ ( 2 ⁢ ⁢ π ⁢ ⁢ f ) ⁢ ( μ 0 ⁢ μ r ) ≈ 503 ⁢ ⁢ ρ μ r ⁢ f , wherein δ is skin depth in meters (m); ρ is resistivity in ohm meter (Ω·m); f is frequency of an electromagnetic radiation in hertz (Hz); μ 0 is permeability; and μ r is relative permeability of the NiCr metallic material. 2. The discrete metallic particle of claim 1 , wherein the discrete metallic particle has a skin depth δ of greater than or equal to 0.5 μm in a frequency range from 40-100 GHz, as calculated by: δ = 2 ⁢ ⁢ ρ ( 2 ⁢ ⁢ π ⁢ ⁢ f ) ⁢ ( μ 0 ⁢ μ r ) ≈ 503 ⁢ ⁢ ρ μ r ⁢ f , wherein δ is skin depth in m; ρ is resistivity in Ω·m; f is frequency of an electromagnetic radiation in Hz; μ 0 is permeability; and μ r is relative permeability of the NiCr metallic material. 3. The discrete metallic particle of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the discrete metallic particle is from 500 nm to 1000 nm. 4. A paint, polymer, or coating comprising the discrete metallic particle of claim 1 .
