Optical Properties of Redispersed Iron Fibers Measured at 94 GHz

Abstract

Millimeter wavelength attenuative properties of iron fibers produced by the high temperature reduction of iron carbonyl were measured in both controlled and field environments. Aerosol morphology was evaluated statistically for the controlled studies, and results were used as a basis for calculations of the absorption efficiency. Scattering efficiency for such small diameter fibers can be assumed to be a negligible proportion of the net attenuation. Reasonable agreement between measurements and theory is indicated. Efficiencies remain relatively high for visible wavelengths. Extinction, Absorption, Iron, Fibers.
