Magnetism and Magnetic Materials - Hardcover

The study of magnetism has driven progress in experimental science for centuries, and demonstrates how ground-breaking theoretical advances can be translated directly into essential, transformative technology. Now in an expanded second edition, this popular textbook provides comprehensive coverage of the theory and practical applications of magnetism and magnetic materials. The text has been updated throughout to address significant developments from the last decade, including new theoretical insights, advanced experimental probes, and thin film technology. A new chapter covers the important topic of transverse magnetotransport and effects of topology. The book is extensively illustrated with over 700 figures conveying important experimental data, concepts and applications, and each self-contained chapter concludes with a summary section, a list of further reading and a set of exercises. The text contains a wealth of useful information that will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics, materials science and engineering.
