The field of ultra-thin films, a subgroup of nanomaterials, has seen an upsurge in research within the last 30 years. Studies have primarily been done using neutron and x-ray reflectometry. The technique of polarized neutron reflectometry or PNR is a unique non-destructive tool to understand thin film magnetism in mesoscopic length scale.

This book presents x-ray and neutron reflectometry techniques and how they can be used to explore interface structure and magnetism at mesoscopic length scale in thin films and multilayers. The text covers the basic principles of neutron and x-ray reflectivity and different mode of neutron reflectivity with many useful examples. The reference text is helpful for research students working in the field of interface magnetism in thin film and multilayers.

Key Features:

  • Introduces the reader to the field of reflectometry, especially polarized neutron reflectometry and x-ray reflectometry.
  • Familiarizes researchers with the importance of interface properties in thin films.
  • Demonstrates with examples how properties can be determined with sub nanometre resolution.
  • Provides a summary with a large number of contemporary examples and references.

Handbook of Magnetic Materials: Volume 18
Volume 18 of the <i>Handbook of Magnetic Materials</i>, as the preceding volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to help those who wish to be introduced to a given topic in the field of magnetism without the need to read the vast amount of literature published. As a work of reference it is intended for scientists active in magnetism research. To this dual purpose, Volume 18 is composed of topical review articles written by leading authorities. In each of these articles an extensive description is given in graphical as well as in tabular form, much emphasis being placed on the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and material science. It provides readers with novel trends and achievements in magnetism.

Magnetic Nano- And Microwires: Design, Synthesis, Properties and Applications
<p>Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development of<br>enhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) and<br>sensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, and<br>non-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domain<br>walls&#x3b; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storage<br>devices.</p> <p>Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires and<br>microwires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowire<br>heterostructures using such methods as sol-gel and electrodeposition<br>combinations, focused-electron/ion-beam-induced deposition, chemical<br>vapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magnetic<br>and transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwires<br>are then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a wide<br>range of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, including<br>memory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermal<br>spin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch point<br>dynamics.</p>
