Kaul, University of Texas, El Paso, USA "Although this book includes lots of specialized forefront research areas, it starts with very general and basic chapter. Therefore, this book can nicely bridge basic knowledge and practical applications. This feature is highly beneficial to wide range of readers including graduate students and active researchers."― Katsuhiko Ariga, ¿WPI-MANA, National Institute for Materials Science, Ibaraki, Japan "This book would interest readers who want to learn about the technical details of nanostructured magnetic materials and their unique properties. It is filled with experimental data on magnetic properties, SEM and TEM images of structures, processing methods, and applications. The huge number of references will also assist the reader to explore topics of interest in greater depth."―IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, January-February 2018 About the Author Professor Sam Zhang Shanyong, better known as Sam Zhang, received his Ph.D in Ceramics in 1991 from The University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA, and is a tenured full professor (since 2006) at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.
