What is to be expected if you try to calculate the complex permittivity and permeability of expanded graphite foils using NRW method for microwave frequencies?
The relative permeability should be 1 as graphite is nonmagnetic. The relative permittivity can vary greatly depending on the quality of the graphite sample. Overall, the imaginary part of the permittivity should be large because graphite is conductive.
Thank you Dr. Hyde for the answer. Yet, graphite seems to be represented as a diamagnetic material when no intercalation compounds are present in between the layers of graphite. So wouldn't it be diamagnetic?
Thank you Milo Hyde , I was in need of assurance about that fact. Because diamagnetics should exhibit a slightly lower value for real(permeability) than 1. I wonder how it is in microwave frequencies.
