Product Description
Introduction to Magnetic Materials, 2nd Edition covers the basics of magnetic quantities, magnetic devices, and materials used in practice. While retaining much of the original, this revision now covers SQUID and alternating gradient magnetometers, magnetic force microscope, Kerr effect, amorphous alloys, rare-earth magnets, SI Units alongside cgs units, and other up-to-date topics. In addition, the authors have added an entirely new chapter on information materials. The text presents materials at the practical rather than theoretical level, allowing for a physical, quantitative, measurement-based understanding of magnetism among readers, be they professional engineers or graduate-level students.

4 out of 5 stars

Rigorous yet easy to read. August 27, 1997
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

What a find! The text is addressed towards a broad audience and assumes only first-year (freshman) physics as a prerequisite. Beginning with a welcome review of basic definitions, it moves smoothly into all the core topics of magnetism. The explanations are clear and the derivations are carefully worked out. End-of-chapter problems are provided. Particularly interesting were the chapter on experimental methods and the most straightforward discussion on units I have yet seen (units in magnetism are notoriously confusing).

Although published in the 70's, the book still has value if you want to learn the fundamentals. I literally couldn't put the book down after I got started, and before I knew it, I had learned so much reading most of it over the weekend....
