1 Fundamentals of Magnetism and Advanced Magnetic Materials
This course covers the fundamentals of magnetism and recent developments and applications of magnetic materials.
From the first application of the oxide magnetite as a compass in China in ancient times, magnetic materials have become an
indispensable part of our daily life. Magnetic materials are used in the modern world, in fields as diverse as, for example,
electrical energy transport, high-power electro-motors and generators, navigation equipment, aviation and space operations,
telecommunications, medicine, magnetocaloric refrigeration, computer science, high density recording, non-destructive testing
of materials, and in many household applications.
The course discusses the origins of magnetism in materials, magnetic domains and domain walls, magnetostatics, the magnetic
anisotropy and ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering. Then, the preparation techniques and the properties of various
magnetic materials are highlighted. Magnetic materials include transition metals, their alloys and oxides, rare earths and
their oxides, organic and molecular magnets are highlighted. Finally, several applications of magnetism like soft magnetic
materials (transformers, generators), hard magnetic materials (permanent magnets, microwave technology) and within modern
nanosciences like magnetic memories and magnetic data storage are presented.
Purpose of this lecture is to study the basic basic concept of magnetism, to understand the origins of magnetism in materials,
magnetic domains and domain walls, magnetostatics, the magnetic anisotropy and ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering.
To learn the preparation techniques and the properties of various magnetic materials and the importance of the relationship
between preparation, composition and microtextures of magnetic material.
- The students will be able to understand the basic concept of magnetism.
- The students will be able to leran magnetic materials synthesis, properties and characterization.
- The students will be able to understand the main characteristics of different magnetic materials and their applications.
- The students will be able to understand the relationship between composition and microtextures of magnetic material.
