Complex Magnetic Nanostructures: Synthesis, Assembly and Applications

 

This book offers a detailed discussion of the complex magnetic behavior of magnetic nanosystems, with its myriad of geometries (e.g. core-shell, heterodimer and dumbbell) and its different applications. It provides a broad overview of the numerous current studies concerned with magnetic nanoparticles, presenting key examples and an in-depth examination of the cutting-edge developments in this field.

This contributed volume shares the latest developments in nanomagnetism with a wide audience: from upper undergraduate and graduate students to advanced specialists in both academia and industry. The first three chapters serve as a primer to the more advanced content found later in the book, making it an ideal introductory text for researchers starting in this field.

It provides a forum for the critical evaluation of many aspects of complex nanomagnetism that are at the forefront of nanoscience today. It also presents highlights from the extensive literature on the topic, including the latest research in this field.

Prof. Dr. Surender Kumar Sharma: Dr. Sharma obtained his PhD title in July 2007 from H. P. University, Shimla, India. After spending several years of research/academic positions in Brazil, France, Czech Republic, India and Mexico working in the area of nanomagnetism and functional nanomaterials, he has joined Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA), Brazil, as a Professor of Physics at Department of Physics on February 2015. Currently he is an active member of the graduate research program at UFMA and actively involved in research, teaching and supervising graduate students. He has been awarded as FAPEMA Senior Researcher grants in August 2015. To date, Dr. Sharma has published more than 54 research articles in reputed journals, 1 book as a single author and 1 book chapter.
