Magnetic Nanostructured Materials: From Lab to Fab

Magnetic Nanostructured Materials: From Lab to Fab presents a complete overview of the translation of nanostructured materials into realistic applications, drawing on the most recent research in the field to discuss the fundamentals, synthesis, and characterization of nanomagnetics.

A wide spectrum of nanomagnetic applications is included, covering industrial, environmental, and biomedical fields, and using chemical, physical and biological methods. Materials such as Fe, Co, CoxC, MnGa, GdSi, ferrite nanoparticles and thin films are highlighted, and their potential applications are discussed, such as magnetic refrigeration, energy harvesting, magnetic sensors, hyperthermia, MRI, drug delivery, permanent magnets, and data storage devices. The book also discusses the required characterization techniques for investigation of the physical and chemical properties of common magnetic nanoparticles. It illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of various synthetic strategies for production, and gives a realistic description of potential difficulties in transferring applications from the laboratory to the fabrication stage.

Offering interdisciplinary knowledge on the materials science of nanostructured materials and magnetics, this book will be of interest to researchers in materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry with interest in magnetic nanomaterials, as well as postgraduate students, and professionals in industry and government.
