The field of magnetism is rapidly advancing in this new millennium, revealingan ever-wider diversity of magnetic phenomena on more than one scale. With the emergence of countless applications particularly on a nanoscale, and their unpredictable implications mostly on a macroscale, it may seem that different aspects of magnetism are unrelated. Quite often, the overwhelming amount of topics discussed in the professional literature views only parts of a field, ignoring a broader context. Therefore, the present book aims at addressing the relationship between apparently unconnected topics in magnetism. Less obvious relationships are revealed among individual fields on various scales, making thembetter understandable. Provides a broad overview of all aspects of magnetism Contains conventional magnetism as well as nanomagnetism Offers insight into seemingly unconnected areas of magnetism A reference work for researchers and engineers as well as a study text for graduate students INDICE: 1. Introduction.- 2. Barkhausen Noise as a Magnetic NondestructiveTesting Technique.- 3. Combined Phenomena in Novel Materials.- 4. Magnetoresistance and Spin Valves.- 5. Some Basic Spintronics Concepts.- 6. Trends in Magnetic Recording Media.- 7. Concluding Remarks.
