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.

The Late B. D. Cullity was a group leader for the Manhattan
Project in WWII, and then became professor of metallurgical
engineering at Notre Dame University. He is best known for two
widely used textbooks, Elements of X-Ray Diffraction and this book,
Introduction to Magnetic Materials. His major research interests
were in the use of x-ray diffraction to measure lattice strains and
in magnetostrictive phenomena.

C. D. Graham worked at the General Electric Research
Laboratory for fifteen years before moving in 1969 to the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University
of Pennsylvania. He has published works on magnetic domain
structure, anisotropy, thin films, permanent magnets, amorphous
alloys, and magnetic measurements, plus several book chapters and
three encyclopedia articles.

Introduction to Magnetic Materials, Second Edition retains much of the original content, while also including updated or new coverage of:

• Magnetic units, with emu-cgs and SI units used throughout

• Demagnetizing factors

• Magnetic measurements, including the SQUID and the alternating gradient magnetometer

• Magnetic force microscopy

• Amorphous alloys

• Rare-earth magnets

• Magnetic materials in computers

• Magnetic behavior of superconductors

• Added material on domain wall structure and energy

The material is presented at a practical level, allowing readers to develop a solid understanding of magnetic properties, quantities, and behavior. This timely new edition will be useful to students as well as engineers and scientists involved with magnetic phenomena, materials, and measurements. It crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, covering topics in solid-state physics, materials science, electrical engineering, and computer science. It can serve as a basic learning and reference work for all those who need to understand the essentials of magnetic behavior.
