Abstract :
Backscatter cross sections were measured for thin nickel-coated graphite fibers as a function of length. A radiation wavelength of 0.86 centimeters (35 GHz) and fiber lengths varying across the primary resonance spectrum were used. Comparison with previously developed theory shows good agreement, and implications with respect to the effective magnetic permeability are discussed
