Elsevier Magnetic Ferrites and Related Nanocomposites (Micro and Nano Technologies)

As a fast-emerging and growing class of magnetic materials, ferrites have generated an increasing amount of interest for providing specific magnetic properties through controlled mixture in composites. The study of magnetic ferrite nanocomposites requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving novel synthesis techniques and an understanding of solid-state physics, electronic engineering, and material science. Magnetic Ferrites and Related Nanocomposites covers recent trends of various types of ferrite nanocomposites and evaluating the mechanisms for interpreting static and dynamic magnetic properties. Sections cover the fundamentals of magnetism, introducing different kinds of ferrites, ferrite characterization techniques, magneto-electric ferrite nanocomposites, exchange spring ferrite nanocomposites, shielding effectiveness and microwave absorption characteristics of ferrite-carbon materials, photocatalytic application of ferrite nanocomposites, and novel synthesis techniques for fabricating ferrite in nanoparticles, bulks, thin films, and nanofiber configurations. This book is an important reference for scientists, researchers, graduate students, and practitioners active in this field in order to broaden their understanding of ferrite nanocomposites and their impact on modern technology. Provides background information regarding various basic magnetic phenomena and related theories, and defines the different natures of magnetic materials Covers a wide range of hard and soft ferrites and related nanocomposites, particularly focusing on the correlation between structural features and magnetic analysis Explores the role of substituted cations on the structural, thermal, magnetic, and microwave characteristics of ferrites and their nanocomposites Discusses the mechanism involved for magnetic properties of major types of ferrite-ferroelectric magneto-electric components, exchange spring ferrite nanocomposites for fabricating next-generation permanent magnets, ferrite carbon nanocomposites for suppressing high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, and ferrite photocatalysts for omitting pollutants from our environment Assesses the major challenges of experimental characterization and novel manufacturing techniques for fabrication of high quality ferrite, in terms of purity, shape, size, and distribution, and the application on an industrial scale
