Understanding magnetic hysteresis is vitally important to the development of the science of magnetism as a whole and to the advancement of practical magnetic device applications. Magnetic Hysteresis, by acclaimed expert Edward Della Torre, presents a clear explanation of the connection between physical principles and phenomenological hysteresis. This comprehensive book offers a lucid analysis that enables the reader to save valuable time by reducing trial-and-error design. Dr. Della Torre uses physical principles to modify Preisach modeling and to describe the complex behavior of magnetic media. While Pretsach modeling is a useful mathematical tool, its congruency and deletion properties present limitations to accurate descriptions of magnetic materials. Step-by-step, this book describes the modifications that can overcome these limitations. Special attention is given to the use of feedback around a Preisach transducer to remove the congruency restriction, and to the use of accommodation and aftereffect models to remove the deletion restriction. Magnetic state selection rules are introduced to couple scalar Preisach models to form a vector model. Magnetic Hysteresis is indispensable reading for engineers, physicists, and materials scientists who want to gain a better understanding of hysteresis losses and create more energy-efficient motor designs.
The present book is the second edition of Amikam Aharoni's Introduction to the Theory of Ferromagnetism, based on a popular lecture course. Like its predecessor, it serves a two-fold purpose: First, it is a textbook for first-year graduate and advanced undergraduate students in both physics and engineering. Second, it explains the basic theoretical principles on which the work is based for practising engineers and experimental physicists who work in the field of magnetism, thus also serving to a certain extent as a reference book. For both professionals and students the emphasis is on introducing the foundations of the different subfields, highlighting the direction and tendency of the most recent research. For this new edition, the author has thoroughly updated the material especially of chapters 9 ('The Nucleation Problem') and 11 ('Numerical Micromagnetics'), which now contain the state of the art required by students and professionals who work on advanced topics of ferromagnetism. From reviews on the 1/e: '... a much needed, thorough introduction and guide to the literature. It is full of wisdom and commentary. Even more, it is Amikam Aharoni at his best - telling a story... He is fun to read... The extensive references provide an advanced review of micromagnetics and supply sources for suitable exercises... there is much for the student to do with the guidance provided by Introduction to the Theory of Ferromagnetism.' A. Arrott, Physics Today, September 1997

As a fast-emerging and growing class of magnetic materials, ferrites have generated an increasing amount of interest for providing specific magnetic properties through controlled mixture in composites. The study of magnetic ferrite nanocomposites requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving novel synthesis techniques and an understanding of solid-state physics, electronic engineering, and material science. Magnetic Ferrites and Related Nanocomposites covers recent trends of various types of ferrite nanocomposites and evaluating the mechanisms for interpreting static and dynamic magnetic properties. Sections cover the fundamentals of magnetism, introducing different kinds of ferrites, ferrite characterization techniques, magneto-electric ferrite nanocomposites, exchange spring ferrite nanocomposites, shielding effectiveness and microwave absorption characteristics of ferrite-carbon materials, photocatalytic application of ferrite nanocomposites, and novel synthesis techniques for fabricating ferrite in nanoparticles, bulks, thin films, and nanofiber configurations. This book is an important reference for scientists, researchers, graduate students, and practitioners active in this field in order to broaden their understanding of ferrite nanocomposites and their impact on modern technology. - Provides background information regarding various basic magnetic phenomena and related theories, and defines the different natures of magnetic materials - Covers a wide range of hard and soft ferrites and related nanocomposites, particularly focusing on the correlation between structural features and magnetic analysis - Explores the role of substituted cations on the structural, thermal, magnetic, and microwave characteristics of ferrites and their nanocomposites - Discusses the mechanism involved for magnetic properties of major types of ferrite-ferroelectric magneto-electric components, exchange spring ferrite nanocomposites for fabricating next-generation permanent magnets, ferrite carbon nanocomposites for suppressing high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, and ferrite photocatalysts for omitting pollutants from our environment - Assesses the major challenges of experimental characterization and novel manufacturing techniques for fabrication of high quality ferrite, in terms of purity, shape, size, and distribution, and the application on an industrial scale

Rare-earth iron permanent magnets combine the magnetization of iron or cobalt with the anisotropy of a light rare-earth in intermetallic compounds which exhibit nearly ideal hysteresis. The rare-earth iron magnets are indispensable components in a vast range of electronic and electromechanical devices. This book covers the principles of permanent magnetism, magnet processing, and applications in a series of interlocking chapters written by experts in each area. Based on the findings of the Concerted European Action on Magnets, it is a definitive account of the field, designed to be read by physicists, materials scientists, and electrical engineers.
