Principles of nanomagnetism (hardback) book (series: nanoscience and technology), 2009
NanoScience and Technology Series

The book deals with the novel field of Nanomagnetism, the study of magnetic samples that have at least one dimension in the nanoscopic range. Nanomagnetism has helped to shape the modern world through the contribution of this discipline to the rapid evolution of high- density magnetic recording. This process has made the hard-disk-equipped personal computer a part of our lives. The approach of this succinct book is to emphasize general principles and mechanisms that are relevant for the understanding of the intriguing properties of nanomagnetic objects, including thin films, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanodisks and nanorings.

The Basis of Nanomagnetism.- Magnetic Domains.- Magnetism of Small Particles.- Magnetism of Thin Films and Multilayers.- to Magnetotransport.- Magnetism of Nanodisks, Nanorings, and Nanowires.- Magnetic Recording.

First monograph on nanomagnetism

Covers the basics of nanomagnetism and includes also magnetic domains, magnetic microparticles, low-dimensional systems as well as thin films and multilayers

Both a reference work for researchers and a textbook for graduate students in this field of the 2007 Nobel Prize in physics
