Description

The Handbook of Magnetic Materials has a dual purpose; as a
textbook, it provides an introduction to a given topic within
magnetism, and as a work of reference, it serves scientists
active in magnetism research. To fulfill these two goals, each
chapter in the Handbook is written by leading authorities in the
field, and combines state-of-the-art research results with an
extensive compilation of archival knowledge.



Magnetism is a rapidly expanding field which constantly continues
to encompass new phenomena. Examples of such subfields of
magnetism are quadrupolar interactions, magnetic superconductors,
and quasiscrystals: topics that are all covered in the present
volume. The only common ground between these new materials and
ferromagnets, is the possession of a magnetic moment; the series
title has been slightly adjusted to reflect this. But in keeping
with tradition, the Handbook of Magnetic Materials continues to
allow readers to acquaint themselves in great depth with topics
through the entire breadth of magnetism research.

K.H.J. Buschow

Professor Kurt Heinz Jürgen Buschow is a member of the Experimental Physics Department of the University of Amsterdam, where he teaches Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. He studied Physical Chemistry at the Free University of Amsterdam, starting in 1954.After having received his M.Sc. degree in 1960 he prepared his thesis work dealing with “Ion-pair Formation with Polyacene Mono and Dinegative Ions”. He received his Ph.D. degree at the Free University in 1963. In 1964 he held a research position at the Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven. He was appointed Senior Scientist in 1976 and Chief Scientist in 1988. His research activities comprised fundamental as well as applied aspects. During this period he stayed for one year (1977) as a guest scientist at the Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, N.Y. In March 1994 he left the Philips Research Laboratories, taking a position at the Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute, University of Amsterdam and having simultaneously a part-time professorship at the University of Leiden. His teaching activities are in the field of Metal Physics and Magnetic Materials. He has published more than 1100 papers in international scientific journals and is author of several review papers and handbook chapters on magnetic materials, metal hydrides and amorphous alloys. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Advisory Editor of the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials and is also Editor of the Series Handbook Magnetic Materials. Recently he became one of the Editors-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology.
