Magnetic Materials, Thin Films and Nanostructures

Overview & Synopsis

In this first volume, we cover relevant aspects of chemical and physical processes of the production and characterization of magnetic materials in bulk, thin films, nanostructures, and/or nanocomposites, as well as modeling aspects involving such structures. Accordingly, this volume presents eleven original research and review works on the challenges and trends covering fundamental and experimental work, with a special focus on the design, synthesis, and characterization of various types of magnetic materials, and the study of their structure–property relationships. State-of-the-art results on the development of new experimental concepts, leading to the transfer, chemical transformation, and high-resolution patterning of advanced thin films and nanomaterials, and to the design and fabrication of devices, are also presented and discussed.
