Description
Book SynopsisThis book is an essential reference for physicists, electrical engineers, materials scientists, chemists, and metallurgists, and others who work on magnetic materials and magnet design. Focusing on materials rather than the physics of magnetism, it provides a modern, practical treatment of materials that can hold a magnetic field.
Trade Review"…appropriate for a graduate or advanced undergraduate level course in magnetics materials…a useful reference resource to researchers in magnetic materials…" (
