Popis: Cold-pressed powder compacts in our experiments were prepared from commercial nanopowders of ZnO, Ni, Co and γ‐Fe2O3. A systematic study of the room temperature effective permeability tensor of composite samples made of these nanophases is performed and provides a signature for the nonreciprocity of wave propagation in these nanostructures. Our measurements which cover a broad range of frequency in the microwave region provide a wealth of information leading to a much better understanding of the electromagnetic wave transport in nanogranular materials throughout this frequency range. We report our observations on the frequency and composition dependences of the permeability tensor components of a large set of nanocomposites (NCs) at different magnetic fields. It is found that mixing Ni nanoparticles with ZnO nanoparticles results in a smaller linewidth of the gyromagnetic resonance and an increased coercivity compared to a sample consisting solely of Ni nanoparticles. On the contrary, mixing of Co nanopar...
