Abstract/Summary

Errors common in publications concerned with microwave absorption were analyzed in detail. These include the development of the wrong impedance matching theory and wrong absorption mechanism, which have led to serious consequences, since these errors have not been corrected over many years. Indeed, material scientists have become accustomed to use these wrong theories and continued to adopt them even though the correct new wave mechanics theory for the microwave absorption film has been developed.
