Modern Ferrites, Volume 1

A robust exploration of the basic principles of ferrimagnetics and their applications

In Modern Ferrites Volume 1: Basic Principles, Processing and Properties, renowned researcher and educator Vincent G. Harris delivers a comprehensive overview of the basic principles and ferrimagnetic phenomena of modern ferrite materials. Volume 1 explores the fundamental properties of ferrite systems, including their structure, chemistry, and magnetism; the latest in processing methodologies; and the unique properties that result.

The authors explore the processing, structure, and property relationships in ferrites as nanoparticles, thin and thick films, compacts, and crystals and how these relationships are key to realizing practical device applications laying the foundation for next generation technologies.

This volume also includes:

• Comprehensive investigation of the historical and scientific significance of ferrites upon ancient and modern societies;
• Neel’s expanded theory of molecular field magnetism applied to ferrimagnetic oxides together with theoretic advances in density functional theory;
• Nonlinear excitations in ferrite systems and their potential for device technologies;
• Practical discussions of nanoparticle, thin, and thick film growth techniques;
• Ferrite-based electronic band-gap heterostructures and metamaterials.

Perfect for RF engineers and magnetitians working in the field of RF electronics, radar, communications, and spintronics as well as other emerging technologies.

Modern Ferrites will earn a place on the bookshelves of engineers and scientists interested in the ever-expanding technologies reliant upon ferrite materials and new processing methodologies.

Modern Ferrites Volume 2: Emerging Technologies and Applications is also available (ISBN: 9781394156139).
