The Physics of Ferromagnetism, 2012 Springer Series in Materials Science Series, Vol. 158

This book covers both basic physics of ferromagnetism, such as magnetic moment, exchange coupling, magnetic anisotropy, and recent progress in advanced ferromagnetic materials. Special focus is placed on NdFeB permanent magnets and the materials studied in the field of spintronics (explaining the development of tunnel magnetoresistance effect through the so-called giant magnetoresistance effect).

Summarizes new developments in the research of ferro-magnetism

Covers the effect and devices of giant magnetoresistance

Strong focus on spintronics

Presents new materials for permanent magnets

Useful reference to researchers and graduate students alike

Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
