Description
The large and growing numbers of publications and patents in magnetism show that the last decade has witnessed a number of impressive discoveries important to both basic science and technology, and that magnetism is now in a new golden age. It is therefore an ideal time to provide an historical perspective of these developments, to identify the most important issues and to provide a perspective for developments anticipated in the beginning of the next century.
The forty-six review articles in this book, while not exhaustive, summarize the most significant recent and ongoing exciting scientific and technological developments and provide both the flavor and meaning of magnetism as a vital field of importance to both basic science and device applications. The authors are all well known and respected authorities in their specific areas of expertise. The table of contents reflects the vitality and richness of the field.
