This text presents simple working methods for systematic analysis
and parametric assessment of soft clays at engineering level. The
development at different rest periods discussed in this book match
advancements already made in plant and machinery along with
associated field techniques.
This book was originally published in Japanese in honour of
Professor S. Chikazumi on the occasion of his retirement from the
University of Tokyo in March 1982. Physicists who had been
supervised by him or had closely col laborated with him wrote
articles on recent developments in magnetism and its engineering
applications. In the preface of his excellent textbook Physics of
Magnetism (Wiley, 1964), Professor Chikazumi says that recent
research in magnetism deals with fundamental physical problems and,
at the same time, with more secondary magnetic phenomena, as well
as with engineering applications of magnetic materials to
electromagnetic machines, permanent magnets and electronic
computers, and that the purpose of his textbook is to give a
general view of these magnetic phenomena, focusing its main
interest at the center of such a broad field. Always keeping such a
viewpoint in mind, Professor Chikazumi has contributed a great deal
to both fundamental physics and applications of magnetism. This is
described in Chap. 1 of this book. Many books have been published
on both the physics and applications of magnetism. However, no
single book has a viewpoint covering both of them. The recent
development of high technology needs such a broad viewpoint for
scientists and engineers since it is a product of both fundamental
science and technology. Research in magnetism is based on the
response which materials show to the application of magnetic
fields."
This volume represents the Proceedings of the Oji International
Seminar on the Application of High Magnetic Fields in the Physics
of Semiconductors and Magnetic Materials, which was held at the
Hakone Kanko Hotel, Hakone, Japan, from 10 to 13 September 1980.
The Seminar was organized as a related meeting to the 15th
International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors which was
held in Kyoto between 1 and 5 September 1980. From 12 countries, 77
de legates participated in the Seminar. This Seminar was originally
planned to be a formal series of International Conferences on the
Application of High Magnetic Fields in the Physics of
Semiconductors, which was first started by Professor G. Landwehr in
1972 in WUrzburg as a satellite conference to the 11th
Semiconductor Conference in Warsaw. The Conference in WUrzburg was
con ducted in an informal atmosphere which was followed by three
conferences, in WUrzburg in 1974 and 1976, and in Oxford in 1978.
At the current Seminar the physics of magnetic materials was added
to the scope of the Seminar, because high-field magnetism is also
an important research area in the physics of high magnetic fields
and is also one of the most active fields in physics in Japan. In
the last decade, considerable effort has been devoted to develop
the techniques for generating the high magnetic fields in many
high-field labora tories in the world."
As the proceedings of the most important and prestigious conference
in the field of semiconductor physics, this book contains the
latest information on the progress of semiconductor physics. Almost
1000 contributed papers address the full range of current topics.
The special symposium deals with the interface between the
fundamentals and device applications and tries to predict the
developments in semiconductor physics, semiconductor materials and
device applications in the 21st century. A wide range of
contributions represent the forefront of academic and industrial
research.
