Description
This special volume of reviews has been compiled to commemorate the appearance of the 100th volume of the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. This project aimed at providing an historical perspective of the developments that have taken place since the first volume of the journal appeared in late 1975, to identify the most important issues and to provide a perspective for developments anticipated in the 1990's. The papers contained in this book cover many of the scientifically exciting and technologically important aspects of magnetism. They deal with research on various materials including amorphous, permanent and semiconducting magnets, magnetic and magneto-optic recording materials, strongly correlated electron systems and high T c superconductors. Several important experimental methods for measuring magnetic behaviour are covered, but the book also contains in-depth theoretical research of fundamental problems in magnetism.
In the process of compiling this book, a numer of clear conclusions emerged: magnetism is in a period of renaissance - literally - a golden age; studies of magnetism, both basic and applied, are in an almost explosive rate of growth, driven by newly developed sophisticated experimental and theoretical techniques and novel discoveries; perhaps more than any other field, magnetism has a direct impact on the well-being of the people of the world; the future is bright for both the science and technology.
