Description

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.
