Magnetic Ceramics describes the structure, preparation techniques, magnetic properties and applications of iron-based oxides also known as ferrites; metallic magnetic materials are also covered in depth. The main purpose of the book is to provide an up-to-date overview of the relevant aspects of ferrites, which cover a wide range of magnetic properties and applications such as high-frequency transformer cores, permanent magnet cements, microwave telecommunication devices, magnetic recording media and heads. The approach is that of materials science, characteristically interdisciplinary, where chemical aspects are covered in terms of synthesis/fabrication methods and crystal structures, and physics is introduced to provide a theoretical basis to magnetic properties. A special emphasis is given to the relationship between microstructure and properties.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book fills a gap in modernizing and coordinating the available information. It should be appreciated by a large range of users, from graduate students to industrial researchers.” Paul Hagenmuller, Materials Research Bulletin
Book Description
Research level monograph on commercially important materials, of which video tape is just one application.
From the Back Cover
Magnetic ceramics describes the structure, preparation techniques, magnetic properties and applications of iron-based oxides, also known as ferrites. The main purpose of the book is to provide an up-to-date overview of the relevant aspects of ferrites. These cover a wide range of magnetic properties and applications such as high-frequency transformer cores, permanent magnets, microwave telecommunication devices, magnetic recording tapes and heads. The subject is approached by emphasising its interdisciplinary nature. Synthesis and fabrication methods and crystal structures are covered alongside the theoretical basis of magnetic properties. This is a much needed book which fills a gap in the ceramics literature. It has been written to appeal to the international community of materials scientists, including researchers in industry and graduate students.
