Abstract
In this chapter, we will discuss the sources of electrical noise encountered when employing magnetic materials in device applications. This will include magnetic contributions to the 1/ƒ noise floor in magnetic sensors, magnetic noise due to domain switching and other magnetic instabilities, and also recording media noise. In addition to examples of efforts to reduce all of these types of noise in practical applications, this chapter will describe the use of noise measurements as a tool to better understand magnetic materials and devices.
