A comprehensive coverage of the physical properties and real-world
applications of magnetic nanostructures
This book discusses how the important properties of materials such as
the cohesive energy, and the electronic and vibrational structures are
affected when materials have at least one length in the nanometer range.
The author uses relatively simple models of the solid state to explain
why these changes in the size and dimension in the nanometer regime
occur. The text also reviews the physics of magnetism and experimental
methods of measuring magnetic properties necessary to understanding how
nanosizing affects magnetism. Various kinds of magnetic structures are
presented by the author in order to explain how nanosizing influences
their magnetic properties. The book also presents potential and actual
applications of nanomaterials in the fields of medicine and computer
data storage.
Physics of Magnetic Nanostructures
- Covers the magnetism in carbon and born nitride nanostructures, bulk
nanostructured magnetic materials, nanostructured magnetic
semiconductors, and the fabrication of magnetic nanostructures
- Discusses emerging applications of nanomaterials such as targeted
delivery of drugs, enhancement of images in MRI, ferrofluids, and
magnetic computer data storage
- Includes end-of-chapter exercises and five appendices
Physics of Magnetic Nanostructures is written for senior undergraduate
and graduate students in physics and nanotechnology, material
scientists, chemists, and physicists.
