Volume 11 of this prestigious series, as the preceding volumes, has
a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to be of assistance to
those who wish to be introduced to a given topic in the field of
magnetism without the need to read the vast amount of literature
published. As a work of reference it is intended for scientists
active in magnetism research. In keeping with this dual purpose,
Volume 11 of the Handbook is composed of topical review articles
written by leading authorities. In each of these articles an
extensive description is given in graphical as well as in tabular
form, much emphasis being placed on the discussion of the
experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and
materials science.
Chapter one focuses on the growing interest in intermetallic
compounds based on uranium. Recent research activities have finally
led to the crystallisation of new concepts in actinide magnetism
which, together with the large amount of experimental work are
reviewed in this chapter.
The last few decades have witnessed quite an extraordinary
development in magnetic recording technology. In the near future
magnetic recording technology will have an enormous growth
potential, one of it's main aims being the further reduction in the
peripheral device sizes while maintaining an increase in capacity.
Chapter two deals with the magnetism and materials aspects of hard
disk media which are the most prominent type of mass storage today,
due to their low cost, high speed and relatively high storage
capacity.
Magnets based on rare earth elements are unequalled with regard to
coercivity and maximum energy production. Considerable progress has
been made in the development of rare earth based permanent magnets
which goes hand in hand with a better understanding of the physical
properties and especially the magnetism of the underlying class of
materials. Chapter three presents a survey of the physical
principles involved with this technique and how these can be
applied advantageously to the study of strongly ferromagnetic
materials.
The final chapter is devoted to inelastic neutron scattering when
applied to study the crystal field interaction in lanthanide
compounds. Included in this review is a description of how this
technique is complementary to various other modern and conventional
techniques.
