Handbook of Magnetic Materials

Handbook of Magnetic Materials, Volume 28, covers the expansion of magnetism over the past few decades and its applications in research, notably the magnetism of several classes of novel materials that share the presence of magnetic moments with truly ferromagnetic materials. The book is an ideal reference for scientists active in magnetism research, providing readers with novel trends and achievements in magnetism. Each article contains an extensive description given in graphical, as well as tabular form, with much emphasis placed on the discussion of the experimental material within the framework of physics, chemistry and materials science.

Comprises topical review articles written by leading authoritiesIncludes a variety of self-contained introductions to a given area in the field of magnetism without requiring recourse to the published literatureIntroduces given topics in the field of magnetismDescribes novel trends and achievements in magnetism
