This book covers both basic physics of ferromagnetism, such as magnetic moment, exchange coupling, magnetic anisotropy, and recent progress in advanced ferromagnetic materials. Special focus is placedon NdFeB permanent magnets and the materials studied in the field of spintronics (explainingthedevelopment of tunnel magnetoresistance effect through the so-called giant magnetoresistance effect)."
