Book SynopsisFuture microwave, wireless communication systems, computer chip designs, and sensor systems will require miniature fabrication processes in the order of nanometers or less as well as the fusion of various material technologies to produce composites consisting of many different materials. This requires distinctly multidisciplinary collaborations, implying that specialized approaches will not be able to address future world markets in communication, computer, and electronic miniaturized products.Anticipating that many students lack specialized simultaneous training in magnetism and magnetics, as well as in other material technologies, Magnetics, Dielectrics, and Wave Propagation with MATLABR Codes avoids application-specific descriptions, opting for a general point of view of materials per se. Specifically, this book develops a general theory to show how a magnetic system of spins is coupled to acoustic motions, magnetoelectric systems, and superconductors.Table of Contents1.

It is sure to become an essential text for those who work in the field."—Christopher Groppi, School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University"… a wonderful book, combining an insightful overview of the interstellar medium with a description of the most important techniques used to study this component of galaxies and how new stars form. It’s particularly timely, with the availability of powerful new tools, including the ALMA array, the SOFIA airborne observatory, and a range of planned and proposed suborbital and space missions in the terahertz range."—Paul F. Goldsmith, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology and Herschel Space Observatory"This valuable and well-written textbook by Professor Christopher Walker helps to fill a gap in the literature describing the interstellar medium at terahertz frequencies. There are very few textbooks that discuss the medium from the observer’s point of view, showing how to determine its physical parameters from the output of the detectors. Also discussed are the operations of mixer and bolometer detectors."—Thomas G. Phillips, John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics Emeritus, California Institute of Technology"… a fundamental source for astronomers and engineers who wish to understand the physical principles and detection techniques."—Jonathan Williams, University of Hawaii"Walker’s book is incredibly timely: it introduces the basics of terahertz data but also explains the instrumentation at the level all observers need to know, and does so in friendly but, most importantly, crystal-clear prose."—George H. Rieke, Regents' Professor of Astronomy, University of Arizona"… an essential resource for all astrophysicists and experimental physicists seeking to exploit the opportunities of this last frontier in astronomy."—Michael Burton, University of New South Wales"The first four chapters that cover stellar evolution, atomic physics and radiation physics are the basics…. The last five are… crucial as THz data are highly dependent on the observation and calibration techniques, especially the detector technology, the improvement of which is the reason why the field has moved forward the way it is… the examples and exercises will help the readers along the way." —Contemporary Physics (Aug 2016)Table of ContentsThe Interstellar Medium at Terahertz Frequencies.
