A robust exploration of the basic principles of ferrimagnetics and its properties

In Modern Ferrites renowned researcher Dr. Vincent Harris delivers a comprehensive overview of ferrimagnetic phenomena in modern technologies. The book explores the fundamental properties of ferrite systems, including their structure, chemistry, and magnetism, as well as practical uses of ferrites, like permanent magnets, magnetic storage media, ferrofluids, power and conditioning, and EMI. Finally, it examines the impact of material developments on biomedical technologies, antennas, semiconductor integration, metamaterials, spintronics, multiferroics, and magnetoelectrics.

In addition to the properties of ferrites, the included resources explore the processing, structure, and property relationships in ferrites as nanoparticles, thin and thick films, compacts, and crystals. The authors discuss how these relationships are key to realizing practical device applications. The book also includes:

• A thorough introduction to the historical evolution of Systeme International d’Unites and its applications to electromagnetism and magnetic materials
• Comprehensive explorations of the societal benefits of ferrites, their historical and scientific significance, and commercialization breakthroughs
• Practical discussions of thick garnet films grown by liquid phase epitaxy, low-temperature co-fired magnetoceramics for RF applications, and hexaferrite permanent magnets and applications
• In-depth examinations of ferrite-based electronic band-gap heterostructures and metamaterials

Perfect for RF engineers working in the field of passive electronics, radar, and communications, Modern Ferrites will also earn a place in the libraries of engineers and scientists interested in electromagnetic interference suppression.
