Frontiers in Magnetic Materials

<p>The book aims to provide comprehensive and practical guidance on magnetism</p><p>and magnetic materials. It involves four parts focusing on fundamental</p><p>magnetism hard magnetic materials soft magnetic materials and</p><p>other functional magnetic materials.</p><p>Part I highlights the ubiquity of magnetism and the close relationships</p><p>between magnetic materials and our daily life. Perspectives on magnetism</p><p>from Engineering and Physics are provided to introduce the two unit systems</p><p>followed by the origin and categories of magnetisms. An introduction</p><p>of important parameters during magnetization and magnetic</p><p>measurement techniques are then provided to lay a solid foundation for</p><p>the readers for better understandings of the design and development of</p><p>different magnetic materials.</p><p>Important magnetic materials are then introduced in the subsequent</p><p>parts delivering an overview of design principles production technologies</p><p>research developments and real-world applications. For instance</p><p>rare-earth-free and rare-earth-based hard magnetic materials as well as</p><p>soft magnetic materials such as Fe-based alloys composites and ferrites</p><p>are discussed. Other functional magnetic materials span a wide range</p><p>involving smart materials with magneto-X effects together with magnetic</p><p>materials for applications including electromagnetic wave absorption</p><p>biomedicine and catalysis etc. For these magnetic materials more emphasis</p><p>is placed on the latest advances and interdisciplinary perspectives.</p>
