Handbook of Advanced Magnetic Materials

Magnetism and magnetic materials are among the most intriguing and fascinating science and engineering fields. With mag-lev trains a reality and the 100 mega-byte hard disk almost standard PC hardware, dramatic advances resulting from intense research are apparent. The objective of this four-volume work comprehensively reports recent progress in magnetic materials research, providing a useful resource for researchers working at the frontier of magnetic materials research.

Graduate students and professional researchers are targeted as the readers. The first volume addresses nanostructured magnetic materials, emphasizing size effects, while the second details experimental methods and simulation techniques for the characterization of magnetic materials, with emphasis on cost-effective .The third volume, Processing of Advanced Magnetic Materials, addresses recent developments in processing of advanced magnetic materials. The final volume, Properties and Applications of Advanced Magnetic Materials, treats recent development of various magnetic materials and their applications.

Throughout, each chapter starts with an introduction to give a clear definition of basic and important concepts of the topic. The details of the topic are then elucidated theoretically and experimentally, followed by new ideas for further advancement and sufficient references to the original work. While most authors are well known senior scientists, some accomplished young scientists review new and active topics.

Most comprehensive coverage of properties, characterization and processing of advanced magnetic materials and magnetic nanostructures Treats such timely topics as nanostructured magnetic materials; processing and modeling of novel nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials; and nano-structured magnetoelastic materials for sensor applications Chapters are written by an international group of experts

From high-capacity, inexpensive hard drives to mag-lev trains, recent achievements in magnetic materials research have made the dreams of a few decades ago reality. The objective of Handbook of Advanced Magnetic Materials is to provide a timely, comprehensive review of recent progress in magnetic materials research. This broad yet detailed reference consists of four volumes:

1.) Nanostructured advanced magnetic materials,

2.) Characterization and simulation of advanced magnetic materials,

3.) Processing of advanced magnetic materials, and

4.) Properties and applications of advanced magnetic materials

The first volume documents and explains recent development of nanostructured magnetic materials, emphasizing size effects.

The second volume provides a comprehensive review of both experimental methods and simulation techniques for the characterization of magnetic materials.

The third volume comprehensively reviews recent developments in the processing and manufacturing of advanced magnetic materials. With the continuous search for new materials and invention of new processing routes, magnetic properties of materials now span a wide spectrum of soft magnetic materials, hard magnetic materials, recording materials, sensor materials and others.

The fourth volume provides a comprehensive review of recent development of various newly emerging magnetic materials and their applications, along with a detailed description of the processing, properties and applications. Finally, with an eye to the future, the potential and limitation of the materials is addressed.

Emphasis is on the processing, experimental investigation, theoretical understanding, and application of nanostructured magnetic materials. The chapters, authored by worldwide known specialists, provide an introduction into the topics and review the latest advances in magnetic nanostructures and materials. This includes emerging new materials, scientific methods, and experimental techniques. The coverage is very broad and includes nanostructural effects, characterization and simulation, fabrication and processing, and properties and applications of advanced magnetic materials.

Each chapter will have an introduction to give a clear definition of basic and important concepts of the topic. The details of the topic are then elucidated theoretically and experimentally. New ideas for further advancement are then discussed. Sufficient references are also included for those who wish to read the original work. Many of the authors are well known senior scientists working in the field of magnetism and magnetic materials.

This will be a valuable reference and research tool for graduate students and researchers in physics, materials science and chemistry to achieve an understanding of recent research developments in the field of magnetic materials.
