Handbook of Magnetic Materials

Volume 17 of the Handbook on Properties of Magnetic Materials, as the precedencies, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to be translated into the vast majority of literature. As a work of reference for scientists working in magnetism. To this dual purpose, Volume 17 of the Handbook is written in writing. In each of the articles in the framework of physics, chemistry and material science. It provides the readership with novel trends and achievements in magnetism.

* form of topical review articles written by leading authorities
* intended to be introduced to the field of magnetism
* as a work for magnetism research
* provide the readership with novel trends and achievements in magnetism
