This textbook, written by Kannan M. Krishnan, offers an in-depth and clearly structured treatment of magnetism, magnetic materials, and related applications. It is aimed at students and researchers seeking a clear and complete understanding of the physics of magnetic phenomena and materials, from fundamental principles to advanced applications.
Contents
The book covers the physics of magnetism and various magnetic phenomena in materials, including the influence of size and dimensionality. After an introduction to macroscopic magnetic measurements, it explains intrinsic and phenomenological concepts, such as electronic magnetic moments and theories of magnetic behavior. Ordered magnetic materials are then discussed with an emphasis on structure-sensitive properties and phenomena such as magnetic anisotropy and magnetostriction.
Next, state-of-the-art imaging techniques and micromagnetic modeling are addressed, followed by an extensive treatment of nanoscale science–related size and dimensionality effects. The second half of the book focuses on the interdisciplinary use of magnetism in information technology, magnetoelectronics, and biomedical innovations. Chemical synthesis and characterization techniques for small particles and ultrathin films are also discussed, including tables of material properties and CGS–SI equivalents.
