This book deals with many aspects of high density digital recording. It begins with very basic concepts in magnetism and magneto-optics, then continues with the synthesis and physical properties of recording media, thin films and particulate media. More technological aspects of recording heads and their contact with the recording media are also discussed in subsequent chapters. The second part of the book is devoted to the magneto-optical properties of various recording media and to the engineering of magneto-optical recording.
In this book, the fundamentals of magnetism are treated, starting at an introductory level. The origin of magnetic moments, the response to an applied magnetic field, and the various interactions giving rise to different types of magnetic ordering in solids are presented and many examples are given. Crystalline-electric-field effects are treated at a level that is sufficient to provide the basic knowledge necessary in understanding the properties of materials in which these effects play a role. Itinerant-electron magnetism is presented on a similar basis. Particular attention has been given to magnetocrystalline magnetic anisotropy and the magnetocaloric effect. Also, the usual techniques for magnetic measurements are presented. About half of the book is devoted to magnetic materials and the properties that make them suitable for numerous applications. The state of the art is presented of permanent magnets, high-density recording materials, soft-magnetic materials, Invar alloys and magnetostrictive materials. Many references are given.

Magnetoelectronics is a novel and rapidly developing field. This
new field is frequently referred to as spin-electronics or
spintronics. It includes spin-utilizing devices that need neither a
magnetic field nor magnetic materials. In semiconductor devices,
the spin of the carriers has only played a very modest role so far
because well established semiconductor devices are non-magnetic and
show only negligible effects of spin. Nanoscale thin films and
multilayers, nanocrystalline magnetic materials, granular films,
and amorphous alloys have attracted much attention in the last few
decades, in the field of basic research as well as in the broader
field of materials science. Such heterogeneous materials display
uncommon magnetic properties that virtually do no occur in bulk
materials. This is true, in particular with respect to surface
(interface) magnetic anisotropy and surface (interface)
magnetostrictive strains and giant magnetoresistance. The local
atomic arrangement at the interface differs strongly from that in
the bulk. The local symmetry is lowered, so that some interactions
are changed or are missing altogether.
Volume 7 of the Handbook of Magnetic Materials provides an overview of some of the most exciting topics in magnetism today. Firstly, a substantial step forward in the understanding of metallic magnetism has been reached by means of electronic band structure calculation. Progress in this area has been made not only due to the availability of high speed computing machines but also due to sophistication in the computational methodology. Two chapters are devoted to this subject, one of which is devoted to the elements and the other dealing primarily with 4f and 5f systems, including examples of the large group of intermetallic compounds. In both chapters the authors have concentrated on explaining the physics behind these band calculations. The chapters are written in a manner understandable to scientists having no experience with band calculations. Thin film technology has become a key issue in high density
magnetic and magneto-optical recording and will be dealt with in
future volumes of the Handbook. The present volume introduces the
field with a chapter on the magnetism of ultrathin transition metal
films, describing the richness in novel magnetic phenomens that has
been encountered in the past few years in these materials. Of equal
interest are the novel magnetic phenomena observed when magnetic
moments are incorporated in a semiconducting matrix. A
comprehensive description of these materials is found in the
chapter on diluted magnetic semiconductors. A separate chapter is
devoted to the progress made in the field of heavy fermions and
valence fluctuations, emphasis being placed on the important
results obtained by means of neutron scattering. A detailed review
of the progress made in the field of rare earth based intermetallic
compounds in combination with 3d transition metals completes this
multifaceted volume.

High density digital magnetic and magneto-optical storage devices are widely used in audio, video, and data processing information technology, as well as in CAD/CAM computer systems. These widespread uses generate a continually increasing demand for both increased information storage densities and capacities, and for reduced access times. Hence, the materials engineering of high density storage media, with a high signal to noise ratio, and the associated design of sophisticated read and write heads, form the basis of major technological research. This research is especially complex because, ideally, the recorded information should be both erasable and, at the same time, secure and accessible over periods of many decades. As a result, research on these complex problems requires a multidisciplinary approach which utilizes the expertise in such widely differing fields as organic, inorganic, and solid state chemistry, metallurgy, solid state physics, electrical and mechanical engineering, and systems analysis. Often, further research specialization is necessary in each of these different disciplines. For instance, solid state physics and chemistry address the problems of crystallographic structure and phase diagram determination, magnetism, and optics, but more advanced research methods, such as high resolution electron microscopy and electronic band structure calculations, are necessary to understand the microstructure of particulate recording media or the electronic spectra of magneto-optical recording media.
It is well known that the density of molecular hydrogen can be increased by compression and/or cooling, the ultimate limit in density being that of liquid hydrogen. It is less well known that hydrogen densities of twice that of liquid hydrogen can be obtained by intercalating hydrogen gas into metals. The explanation of this unusual paradox is that the absorption of molecular hydrogen, which in TiFe and LaNis is reversible and occurs at ambient temperature and pressure, involves the formation of hydrogen atoms at the surface of a metal. The adsorbed hydrogen atom then donates its electron to the metal conduction band and migrates into the metal as the much smaller proton. These protons are easily accomodated in interstitial sites in the metal lattice, and the resulting metal hydrides can be thought of as compounds formed by the reaction of hydrogen with metals, alloys, and intermetallic compounds. The practical applications of metal hydrides span a wide range of technologies, a range which may be subdivided on the basis of the hydride property on which the application is based. The capacity of the metal hydrides for hydrogen absorption is the basis for batteries as well as for hydrogen storage, gettering, and purification. The temperature-pressure characteristics of metal hydrides are the basis for hydrogen compressors, sensors, and actuators. The latent heat of the hydride formation is the basis for heat storage, heat pumps, and refrigerators.

There exists an extensive amount of scientific efforts devoted to 4f and 5f systems, including experimental and theoretical, as well as basic and applied research. Chapter 2 aims at reviewing a part of these efforts from the viewpoint of microscopic theory. Special attention is paid to the many new developments in the field. One of the intentions is to bring to the fore the darker areas of DFT theory applications. A review of novel experimental results and first-principle energy-band calculations of MOKE spectra will be presented in Chapter 3. Conventional co-operative phenomena, such as long-range order and elementary excitation, have realisations in nonmagnetic situations. This applies also to the phenomena of geometrical frustration. In Chapter 4 this topic is addressed by developing the basic principles underlying the magnetic phenomena.
