This review is from: Modern Magnetic Materials: Principles and Applications (Hardcover)

This is the book which contains all about the magnetism practically in use. From the basic theory of magnetism to the practical use, e.g., magnetic recording materials, surface and thin films. This is the best book treating magnetism practically. But this deos not contain the rigorous thoery using second quantization, e.g., Hubbard Hamiltonian and Anderson Impurity. That is, this book is the introduction for graduate students majoring in experimental condensed matter physicis - materials and materials science for practical use.

This review is from: Modern Magnetic Materials: Principles and Applications (Hardcover)

This book will take you from basic academic knowledge about magnetism to a proficient understanding of the most recent advances in magnetic materials and devices. This book is well very organized and written in a concise manner. Dr. O'Handley has earned our congratulations on both scope and quality for this book. Graduate students, researchers, engineers, theorists, experimenters and other newcomers to the field will find this book an excellent entry to the field as well as a handy reference. The book is one of the best text in the area of applied magnetism.
This invaluable book should certainly be present in the library of any department or institute carrying out magnetism R&D work. In other words, it deserves to be on the shelves of any lab or research institute library. I strongly recommend this book to every student and teacher who intends studying or teaching magnetism.

This review is from: Modern Magnetic Materials: Principles and Applications (Hardcover)

This book has been used for several years in the graduate materials program at Carnegie Mellon University. It is very popular with the students. It has also found a following with the undrgraduates who have done research or advanced reading in magnetic materials. The book offeres clear physical insights and a discussion of contemporary magnetics applications. Highly recommended.
