Magnetic Nanoparticles (inbunden, eng)

Learn how to make and use magnetic nanoparticles in energy research, electrical engineering, and medicine

In Magnetic Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications, a team of distinguished engineers and chemists delivers an insightful overview of magnetic materials with a focus on nano-sized particles.

The book reviews the foundational concepts of magnetism before moving on to the synthesis of various magnetic nanoparticles and the functionalization of nanoparticles that enables their use in specific applications. The authors also highlight characterization techniques and the characteristics of nanostructured magnetic materials, like superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry.

Advanced applications of magnetic nanoparticles in energy research, engineering, and medicine are also discussed, and explicit derivations and explanations in non-technical language help readers from diverse backgrounds understand the concepts contained within.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to magnetic materials, including the theory and fundamentals of magnetization
• In-depth explorations of the types and characteristics of soft and hard magnetic materials
• Comprehensive discussions of the synthesis of nanostructured magnetic materials, including the importance of various preparation methods
• Expansive treatments of the surface modification of magnetic nanoparticles, including the technical resources employed in the process

Perfect for materials scientists, applied physicists, and measurement and control engineers, Magnetic Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of inorganic chemists.
