Magnetic materials are all around us, and understanding their properties
underlies much of today's engineering efforts. The range of applications in
which they are centrally involved includes audio, video and computer technology,
tele-communications, automotive sensors, electric motors at all scales, medical
imaging, energy supply and transportation, as well as the design of stealthy
airplanes. This book deals with the basic phenomena that govern the magnetic
properties of matter, with magnetic materials and with the applications of
magnetism in science, technology and medicine. Dedicated to magnetic materials
and applications of magnetism, this book deals with permanent magnet (hard)
materials, magnetically soft materials for low-frequency applications, then for
high-frequency electronics, magnetostrictive
