Because future microwave, wireless communication systems, computer chip designs and sensor systems, it will require miniature fabrication processes in the order of nano meters or less as well as the marriage of various material technologies to produce composites consisting of many different materials. This requires distinctly multi-disciplinary collaborations, implying that specialized approaches will not be able to address future world markets in communication, computer and electronic miniaturized products. Anticipating that many students lack specialized simultaneous training in magnetism and magnetics, as well as in other material technologies, Magnetics, Dielectrics, and Wave Propagation with MATLAB Codes avoids application-specific descriptions, opting for a general point view of materials per se. Specifically, the book develops a general theory to show how a magnetic system of spins are coupled to acoustic motions, magnetoelectric systems and superconductors. Phenomenological approaches are connected to atomic scale formulations reducing complex calculations to essential forms, addressing basic interactions at any scale of dimensionalities. With simple and clear coverage of everything from first principles to calculation tools, it revisits fundamentals that govern magnetic, acoustic, superconducting, magnetoelectric motions at the atomic and macroscopic scales, including superlattices. Constitutive equations in Maxwell’s equations are introduced via general free energy expressions which include magnetic parameters as well as acoustic, magnetoelectric, semiconductor and superconducting parameters derived from first principles. More importantly, it facilitates the derivation of these parameters, as the dimensionality of materials is reduced toward the microscopic scale. Thus, introducing new concepts. The deposition of ferrite films at the atomic scale complements the approach toward the understanding of the physics of miniaturized composites. Thus, a systematic formalism of deriving the permeability or the magnetoelectric coupling tensors from first principles, rather than from an ad-hoc approach, bridges the gap between microscopic and macroscopic principles as applied to wave propagation and other applications.

Because future microwave, magnetic resonance, and wave propagation systems will involve miniature devices, nanosize structures, multifunctional applications, and composites of various types of materials, their development requires distinctly multidisciplinary collaborations. That means specialized approaches will not be sufficient to satisfy requirements. Anticipating that many students lack specialized training in magnetism and magnetics, Magnetics, Dielectrics, and Wave Propagation with MATLAB (R) Codes avoids application-specific descriptions.Instead, it connects phenomenological approaches with comprehensive microscopic formulations to provide a new and sufficiently broad physical perspective on modern trends in microwave technology. Reducing complex calculation approaches to their simplest form, this book's strength is in its step-by-step explanation of the procedure for unifying Maxwell's equations with the free energy via the equation of motion. With clear and simple coverage of everything from first principles to calculation tools, it revisits the fundamentals that govern the phenomenon of magnetic resonance and wave propagation in magneto-dielectric materials. Introduces constitutive equations via the free energy, paving the way to consider wave propagation in any media This text helps students develop an essential understanding of the origin of magnetic parameters from first principles, as well as how these parameters are to be included in the large-scale free energy. More importantly, it facilitates successful calculation of said parameters, which is required as the dimensionality of materials is reduced toward the microscopic scale. The author presents a systematic way of deriving the permeability tensor of the most practical magnetic materials, cubic and hexagonal crystal structures. Using this simple and very general approach, he effectively bridges the gap between microscopic and macroscopic principles as applied to wave propagation.
