“…a great contribution to the subject of magnetic materials.”
—Edward Della Torre, Director, Institute for Magnetic Research,
George Washington University, Washington, D.C., USA
“…an excellent introductory text.”
—Roy Chantrell, University of York, UK
“…a welcome update. …a useful textbook for students approaching magnetism for the first
time, as well as a quick reference for anybody seeking information about notions and facts
pertaining to magnetism and magnetic materials.”
—Giorgio Bertotti, INRIM, Torino, Italy
“…distinctly pedagogical; one would expect no less from one of the world’s foremost
educators and academic leaders in magnetics.”
—Ron B. Goldfarb, National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Boulder, Colorado, USA
“…the author plainly conveys the main physical ideas lying behind the macroscopic
phenomenology of magnetism in the materials and their ultimate realization in actual
technological applications.”
—Dr. Fausto Fiorillo, INRIM, Torino, Italy
See What’s New in the Third Edition
• New coverage of applications of magnetism and magnetic materials, especially in
magnetic recording
• Additional exercises with complete worked-out solutions at the end of the book
• Updated references at the end of each chapter
A long overdue update, the third edition of Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic
Materials is a complete revision of its predecessor. It contains vast updates to reflect the
enormous progress made in applications in the past 15 years, particularly in magnetic recording. The book includes significant updates to soft magnetic materials, hard magnetic materials, magnetic data storage, and magnetic evaluation of materials. It also
adds new information on magneto-transport, small particles, nanomagnetism, magnetic
semiconductors, spintronics, and high-frequency magnetism.
The book adopts an unusual but effectively focused question-answer framework.
Each major head is introduced by a question followed by an attempt to answer. This
approach maintains attention to the subject matter at hand and clarifies the objective of
each section without needless digression. Each chapter also features updated and new
exercise problems, accompanied by answers at the back of the book. This edition gives
you an excellent introduction to the key and current theories, practices, and applications of
magnetics and magnetic materials.
