Advanced magnetic nanostructures

Description

"Advanced Magnetic Nanostructures is devoted to the fabrication characterization, experimental investigation, theoretical understanding, and utilization of advanced magnetic nanostructures. The focus is on various types of 'bottom-up' and 'top-down' artificial nanostructures, as contrasted to naturally occurring magnetic nanostructures such as iron-oxide inclusions in magnetic rocks, and to structures such as perfect thin films." "Industrial and academic researches in magnetism and related areas such as nanotechnology, materials science, and theoretical solid-state physics will find this book a valuable resource."--Jacket.
