Due to their excellent magnetic characteristics, hard ferrites have many high-tech applications in such areas as permanent magnets, storage devices, HF Antenna and Spin Transmission. The present book reviews the present knowledge of these materials; their processing, characterization and potential applications. The book is also useful as an introductory text for students at the postgraduate research level. Keywords: Hard Ferrites, Synthesis, BaFe12O19, SrFe12O19, Magnetization, Miniaturization, EMI Shielding, Ferrofluids, Nanomaterials, Nano-Floating Gate, Permanent Magnets, Recording Media, High-Frequency Antenna, Radar Applications, Memory Devices. Spin Transmission, Spinel Model, Synthesis Methods.

The subject of electronic and ionic materials has grown rapidly over the last 20 to 30 years. The application of these materials has had a significant impact on modern industries and on society in general. The subject is so important that no electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, applied physics or chemistry degree would be complete without it.This valuable textbook is aimed at engineering and technology undergraduates who have a background in physics or chemistry only at first year level. It provides a basic understanding of the properties and uses of a wide range of electrically and ionically conducting materials. It is not intended to be a solid state physics or chemistry book, and so the mathematics is kept to a minimum. However, it is intended to give the student an overview of a wide range of electrical materials and their uses in today's society.

An Introduction to Materials Engineering and Science for Chemical and Materials Engineers provides a solid background in materials engineering and science for chemical and materials engineering students. This book: Organizes topics on two levels; by engineering subject area and by materials class. Incorporates instructional objectives, active-learning principles, design-oriented problems, and web-based information and visualization to provide a unique educational experience for the student. Provides a foundation for understanding the structure and properties of materials such as ceramics/glass, polymers, composites, bio-materials, as well as metals and alloys. Takes an integrated approach to the subject, rather than a "metals first" approach.

Presents an overview of various materials, such as conducting materials, semiconductors, magnetic materials, optical materials, dielectric materials, superconductors, thermoelectric materials and ionic materials. This title includes chapters on thin film electronic materials, organic electronic materials and nanostructured materials.

Revision of a classic reference on ferrite technology Includes fundamentals as well as applications Covers new areas such as nanoferrites, new high frequency power supply materials, magnetoresistive ferrites for magnetic recording

The word "magnet" refers to the material having both directive and attractive property. The magnet with its two such distinct and significant properties have attracted common man as well as researcher because of its obvious applications in various fields like electronic, electrical telecommunication, biomedical, power, food, automobile, construction, recording media and computer industries. Research in this area has gained momentum since 1914. It focuses on synthesis, characterization, functionalization of the properties of these materials for betterment of human life in the society.

This book highlights the complexity of spinel nanoferrites, their synthesis, physio-chemical properties and prospective applications in the area of advanced electronics, microwave devices, biotechnology as well as biomedical sciences. It presents an overview of spinel nanoferrites: synthesis, properties and applications for a wide audience: from beginners and graduate-level students up to advanced specialists in both academic and industrial sectors. There are 15 chapters organized into four main sections. The first section of the book introduces the readers to spinel ferrites and their applications in advanced electronics industry including microwave devices, whereas the second section mainly focus on the synthesis strategy and their physio-chemical properties. The last sections of the book highlight the importance of this class of nanomaterials in the field of biotechnology and biomedical sector with a special chapter on water purification.
