Introduction to Magnetic Materials, Second Edition

Description

Introduction to Magnetic Materials, 2nd Edition covers the basics of magnetic quantities, magnetic devices, and materials used in practice. While retaining much of the original, this revision now covers SQUID and alternating gradient magnetometers, magnetic force microscope, Kerr effect, amorphous alloys, rare-earth magnets, SI Units alongside cgs units, and other up-to-date topics. In addition, the authors have added an entirely new chapter on information materials. The text presents materials at the practical rather than theoretical level, allowing for a physical, quantitative, measurement-based understanding of magnetism among readers, be they professional engineers or graduate-level students.Content: Chapter 1 Definitions and Units (pages 1–21): Chapter 2 Experimental Methods (pages 23–86): Chapter 3 Diamagnetism and Paramagnetism (pages 87–114): Chapter 4 Ferromagnetism (pages 115–149): Chapter 5 Antiferromagnetism (pages 151–173): Chapter 6 Ferrimagnetism (pages 175–195): Chapter 7 Magnetic Anisotropy (pages 197–239): Chapter 8 Magnetostriction and the Effects of Stress (pages 241–273): Chapter 9 Domains and the Magnetization Process (pages 275–333): Chapter 10 Induced Magnetic Anisotropy (pages 335–357): Chapter 11 Fine Particles and Thin Films (pages 359–408): Chapter 12 Magnetization Dynamics (pages 409–438): Chapter 13 Soft Magnetic Materials (pages 439–476): Chapter 14 Hard Magnetic Materials (pages 477–504): Chapter 15 Magnetic Materials for Recording and Computers (pages 505–515): Chapter 16 Magnetic Properties of Superconductors (pages 517–526):
