Magnetic Measurement Techniques for Materials Characterization

This book discusses the most commonly used techniques for characterizing magnetic material properties and their applications. It provides a comprehensive and easily digestible collection and review of magnetic measurement techniques. It also examines the underlying operating principles and techniques of magnetic measurements, and presents current examples where such measurements and properties are relevant. Given the pervasive nature of magnetic materials in everyday life, this book is a vital resource for both professionals and students wishing to deepen their understanding of the subject.

Victorino Franco is a professor in the Condensed Matter Physics Department of the University of Seville, Spain. His main research interests cover magnetic materials for energy applications, including soft-magnetic and magnetocaloric materials. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed technical articles on these topics. He received the Young Scientist Award from the Royal Physical Society of Spain in 2000 and was named IEEE Magnetic Society Distinguished Lecturer in 2019. He has served as chair of the Spain Chapter of the IEEE Magnetics Society, chair of the Magnetic Materials Committee of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), and member of the Steering Committee of the European School of Magnetism. He has been Editor and Publications Chair of several Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM) conferences and the General Chair of the 2022 Joint MMM-INTERMAG Conference.
