Synopsis

Understanding the properties of magnetic materials underlies many of today's technological advances. The range of applications in which they are centrally involved includes audio, video and computer technology, telecommunications, automotive sensors, electric motors, medical imaging, energy supply and transportation. This two-volume work deals with the basic phenomena that govern the magnetic properties of matter, with magnetic materials and with the applications in science, technology and medicine. A phenomenological description of the mechanisms involved has been deliberately chosen in most chapters in order for the book to be useful to a wide readership. The emphasis is explaining, rather than attempting to calculate, the mechanisms underlying the exchange interaction and magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which lead to magnetic order, hence to useful materials. Volume II introduces magnetic effects at the atomic, mesoscopic and macroscopic levels, and a presentation of magneto-caloric, magneto-elastic, magneto-optical and magneto-transport coupling effects.

 

About this title

Review:

From the reviews:

"This is an advanced work, and though it claims to be for undergraduate as well as graduate study, it goes well beyond what is usually included in undergraduate degrees, primarily because of the sheer volume of material covered and the rigor of the mathematical applications. Included with many sections are problems and solutions."
(E. Kincanon, Gonzaga University in Choice, June 2003)

"This two-volume set, Magnetism, provides a comprehensive overview of magnetic materials. a ] Throughout the text, useful explanatory notes and remarks are included to point out issues such as differences in symbol conventions or special situations in which the discussed treatment does not apply. a ] For scientists and engineers active in this area, the two-volume set serves as a useful reference. a ] the books are well written with good links between chapters. The set should be of much use to both students and practitioners of magnetism." (Yumi Ijiri, MRS Bulletin, December, 2004)
