Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials

David Jiles, PhD, DSc, is chairman of department and holds the Palmer Endowed Chair in electrical and computer engineering at Iowa State University. He is also Anson Marston distinguished professor of engineering. His research interests include medical applications of magnetics, nonlinear and hysteretic behavior of magnetic materials, magnetoelasticity and magnetomechanical effects, development of novel magnetic materials, and applications of magnetic measurements to nondestructive evaluation. He has authored more than 600 scientific papers, published three books, and holds 19 patents. He is a fellow of IEEE and several other societies and institutions.
