The present paper presents a facile hydrothermal method to synthesize FeNi3@C nanowires by reducing Ni(NO3)2路6H2O and Fe(NO3)2路9H2O with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol and glucose solution. The FeNi3@C nanowires have diameters ranging from 5 to 15 nm and length ranging from 150 to 250 nm, which are self assembled by FeNi3@C nanocapsules with onion-like carbon shells. The electromagnetic properties of FeNi3@C nanowires-paraffin composites have been investigated in detail. The Cole-Cole semicircle approach is adopted to explain the dielectric resonance, due to a cooperative consequence of the core/shell interfaces and the dielectric carbon shells. The coexistence of natural resonance and exchange resonance result in strong magnetic loss. For 2.0 mm thickness layer, an optimal reflection loss (RL) of 鈭?3.3 dB is observed at 9.91 GHz and RL exceeding 鈭?0 dB is obtained at 8.7-13.78 GHz. The absorbent with a thickness of 1.2 mm has a RL of 鈭?8.49 dB at 18.0 GHz. The FeNi3@C nanowires can be a potential material for fabricating microwave devices, due to the synergy of dielectric loss and magnetic loss and the quarter-wavelength cancellation.
