This volume is composed of topical review articles written by
leading authorities in the field. As in previous volumes in the
series, each article presents an extensive description in graphical
as well as in tabular form, placing emphasis on the discussion of
the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry
and material science.
Chapter one focuses on GMR in magnetic multilayers, spin valves,
multilayers on grooved substrates and multilayered nanowires.
Furthermore it comprises theoretical models and employs the
experimental data to discuss the current understanding of GMR and
the underlying physics.
A key aspect of the study of the properties of thin magnetic films
and multilayers is the relationship between the structural and
magnetic properties of the material, which has become one of the
most active areas of research in magnetism in recent years. NMR is
a well-known technique that offers the possibility to obtain
experimental information on atomic scale properties in systems with
reduced dimensionality. Chapter two reviews the results obtained by
NMR on the latter systems. Written in tutorial style it will be
helpful to scientists familiar with the preparation and properties
of thin magnetic films but having little knowledge of the NMR of
ferromagnetic materials.
Chapter three examines rare-earth compounds with 3d transition
metals, in particular those that exhibit a magnetic instability of
the 3d-subsystem. It focuses on such compounds in which the
d-electron subsystem is neither non-magnetic, nor carries a stable
magnetic moment.
The last chapter is concerned with the promising technology of
magnetic refrigeration which can be used in a broad range
ofapplications. It is based on the magnetocaloric effect associated
with the entropy change occurring when a magnetic material is
isothermally subjected to a changing magnetic field and the
temperature change when the field is changed adiabatically. The
last decade has witnessed quite a strong development in magnetic
cooling technology and research activities in this field have been
extended to a variety of magnetocaloric materials, including
amorphous alloys, nanocomposites, intermetallic compounds and
perovskite type oxides. The many materials, their magnetocaloric
efficiency as well as the physical principles behind it are
reviewed in this final chapter.
