Books by Keyword: Hexaferrites

Description: This special edition contains articles based on research results and developments in materials science, focusing on polymers and composites, magnetic materials, analysis of corrosion resistance, protective coatings, and surface treatment, and is an important resource for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in understanding and leveraging the latest advancements in materials science and engineering.

Description: Ferroics is the generic name given to the study of ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, and ferroelastics. The basis of this study is to understand the large changes in physical characteristics that occur over a very narrow temperature range. In recent years, a new class of ferroic materials has been attracting increased interest. These multiferroics exhibit more than one ferroic property simultaneously in a single phase. The present volume: “Ferroic Materials: Synthesis and Applications" has ten Chapters, spread over areas as diverse as Magnetic Oxide Nanomaterials, Ferrites Synthesis, Hexaferrites, Spin Torque Nano-Oscillator, Ferroelectric Lattices, Flexoelectricity and Ferroelectric Materials for High Temperature Piezoelectric Applications.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Multiferroics: that is, materials which simultaneously exhibit both ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity - and also often ferroelasticity - now attract considerable attention because of the interesting physics involved and their promise for important practical applications. Typical multiferroics belong to the perovskite group of transition metal oxides, and include rare-earth manganites and ferrites. Several new multiferroic systems have been developed, during recent years, which exhibit very strong coupling between the ferroelectric and magnetic degrees of freedom. The present volume comprises both review articles, and research papers on various themes; with very little overlap. The authors of the review papers have generally kept in mind the unfamiliarity, of the field of ‘Ferroics and Multiferroics’, to newcomers. They cover the historical development of the field, and add their own contributions.
