The Physics of Ferromagnetism

With a special focus on NdFeB permanent magnets and the materials studied in the field of spintronics, this volume summarizes new developments in ferromagnetism research as well as covering the basic physics of ferromagnetism such as exchange coupling.

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).
