Ferrite Materials for Memory Applications: 18 (Materials Research Foundations)

In the modern world the life style of humans is greatly influenced by electronic gadgets. These electronic gadgets need semiconducting and magnetic materials. In particular the magnetic materials which find applications in almost all such gadgets need to be researched and better understood. Magnetism has diverse applications from simple loadstone to complex DNA sequencing. The aim of this book is to describe the synthesis and characterization of various nano ferrite materials used for memory applications. It is now well established that materials synthesized in nanometer scale have novel properties compared to their bulk counterparts. The distinct feature of the book is the construction of charge density diagrams of ferrites by using the maximum entropy method (MEM). It is analyzed how the charge density distribution in the ferrite unit cell affects charge related properties.
