Modern Magnetic Materials

A truly modern treatment of materials that can hold a magnetic field.
* Covers cutting-edge materials with many important technical applications.
* Includes examples and problems along with computer solutions.Ein praxisnahes Nachschlagewerk für alle, die mit magnetischen Werkstoffen zu tun haben! Mit über 450 Abbildungen ausgestattet, führt dieses Buch auch in modernste Themengebiete wie nanokristalline Materialien, amorphen Magnetismus, Ladungs- und Spintransfer, Magnetismus in Grenzflächen und dünnen Schichten sowie magnetische Aufzeichnungsverfahren ein. Alle Beispiele und Aufgaben wurden mit computergestützten Lösungen versehen. (11/99)
