Synopses & Reviews
The purpose of the book is to provide an up-to-date overview of the relevant aspects of ferrites, which cover a wide range of magnetic properties and applications such as high-frequency transformer cores, permanent magnet cements, microwave telecommunication devices, magnetic recording media and heads. The author takes an interdisciplinary approach to describe the structure, preparation techniques, magnetic properties, and applications of iron-based oxides; metallic magnetic materials are also covered in depth.
Review
"This book fills a gap in modernizing and coordinating the available information. It should be appreciated by a large range of users, from graduate students to industrial researchers." Paul Hagenmuller, Materials Research Bulletin
Synopsis
Magnetic ceramics describes the structure, preparation techniques, magnetic properties and applications of iron-based oxides, also known as ferrites. The main purpose of the book is to provide an up-to-date overview of the relevant aspects of ferrites. These cover a wide range of magnetic properties and applications such as high-frequency transformer cores, permanent magnets, microwave telecommunication devices, magnetic recording tapes and heads. The subject is approached by emphasising its interdisciplinary nature. Synthesis and fabrication methods and crystal structures are covered alongside the theoretical basis of magnetic properties. This is a much needed book which fills a gap in the ceramics literature. It has been written to appeal to the international community of materials scientists, including researchers in industry and graduate students.
Synopsis
Magnetic ceramics, also known as ferrites, are an important class of materials in solid state chemistry. Their chemical and physical properties make them ideally suited for use in microwave communication devices as well as in computer discs and video tapes. An interdisciplinary approach is taken in this book, where chemical aspects are covered in terms of synthesis/fabrication methods and crystal structures, and physics is introduced to provide a theoretical basis to magnetic properties. It is aimed primarily at the professional materials scientist.
Synopsis
The aim of this book is to provide an overview of magnetic ceramics. Their structure, preparation techniques, magnetic properties and applications are all discussed in depth. The book is an important contribution to the rapidly developing field.
