Absorbing structure

An absorbing structure (1) comprising:

• a body (2) provided on an air vehicle;
• at least one barrier coating (5) having a conductivity that prevents and provides protection against plastic and/or elastic deformations that occur on the body (2) as a result of an electromagnetic wave acting on the body (2), the at least one barrier coating comprising:
• a first layer (401) which is located on the body (2) and has a first transition metal compound containing two-dimensional inorganic compounds including a plurality of carbon atoms (C) and a plurality of nitrogen atoms (N), with more nitrogen atoms (N) than carbon atoms (C);
• a last layer (402) which is located on the body (2) such that it is closer to the body (2) than the first layer (401) and has a second transition metal compound containing two-dimensional inorganic compounds including a plurality of carbon atoms (C) and a plurality of nitrogen atoms (N), with more carbon atoms (C) than nitrogen atoms (N);
• and
• a plurality of middle layers (403) located between the first layer (401) and the last layer (402), each of the plurality of middle layers having an associated transition metal compound containing two-dimensional inorganic compounds including a plurality of carbon atoms (C) and a plurality of nitrogen atoms (N);
• and
• wherein the barrier coating (5) has a density of nitrogen atoms (N) that decreases from the first layer (401) to each subsequent one of the middle layers (403) and then to the last layer (402), and in which a density of carbon atoms (C) increases from the first layer (401) to each subsequent one of the middle layers (403) and then to the last layer (402).
