Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e86aa7/magnetic_propertie) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Magnetic Properties of Antiferromagnetic Oxide Materials: Surfaces, Interfaces, and Thin Films" to their offering.
This first focused treatment on a hot topic highlights fundamental aspects as well as technological applications arising from a fascinating area of condensed matter physics. The editors have excellent track records and, in light of the broadness of the topic, retain the focus on antiferromagnetic oxides.
They thus cover such topics as dichroism in x-ray absorption, non-magnetic substrates, exchange bias, ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic interface coupling and oxide multilayers, as well as imaging using soft x-ray microscopy.
The result is a very timely monograph for solid state physicists and chemists, materials scientists, electrical engineers, physicists in industry, physical laboratory technicians, and suppliers of sensors.
Key Topics Covered:
- Low-Dimensional Antiferromagnetic Oxides: An Overview (Marco Finazzi, Lamberto Duo, and Franco Ciccacci).
- Growth of Antiferromagnetic Oxide Thin Films (Sergio Valeri, Salvatore Altieri, and Paola Luches).
- Dichroism in X-ray Absorption for the Study of Antiferromagnetic Materials (Jan Vogel and Maurizio Sacchi).
- Antiferromagnetic Oxide Films on Nonmagnetic Substrates (Tjipke Hibma and Maurits W. Haverkort).
- Exchange Bias by Antiferromagnetic Oxides (Marian Fecioru-Morariu, Ulrich Nowak, and Gernot Guntherodt).
- Theory of Ferromagnetic Antiferromagnetic Interface Coupling (Alexander I. Morosov and Alexander S. Sigov).
- Antiferromagnetic Ferromagnetic Oxide Multilayers: Fe3O4-Based Systems as a Model (P. J. van der Zaag and Julie A. Borchers).
- Micromagnetic Structure Imaging Antiferromagnetic Domains using Soft X-Ray Microscopy (Hendrik Ohldag).
