This book covers both basic physics of ferromagnetism, such as magnetic moment, exchange coupling, magnetic anisotropy, and recent progress in advanced ferromagnetic materials. Special focus is placed on NdFeB permanent magnets and the materials studied in the field of spintronics (explaining the development of tunnel magnetoresistance effect through the so-called giant magnetoresistance effect). Summarizes new developments in the research of ferro-magnetism. Covers theeffect and devices of giant magnetoresistance. Strong focus on spintronics. Presents new materials for permanent magnets. Useful reference to researchers and graduate students alike. INDICE: Part I: Foundation of magnetism. Basis of magnetism. Magnetism of atoms. Magnetism of solids. Exchange interaction. Magnetic anisotropy. Magnetostrictive effects. Magnetic domain. Micromagnetism. Part II: Magnetic materials. Soft magnetism. Hard magnetism. Part III: Spintronics. Magnetoresistance effect. Tunnel magnetoresistance effect. Magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM). Technologies that accompany the development of spintronics devices.
