Soft Magnetic Nanostructures and Applications

  • Chapter
Advanced Magnetic Nanostructures

Abstract

The focus of this chapter is primarily directed towards nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials prepared by crystallization of amorphous precursors. The key elements involved in the development of this class of materials are three-fold: (i) theoretical models for magnetic softness in nanostructures (ii) nanostructure-property relationships and (iii) nanostructural formation mechanisms. This chapter surveys recent research on these three areas with emphasis placed on the principles underlying alloy design in soft magnetic nanostructures.
