Magnetic Materials, Thin Films and Nanostructures

In this first volume, we cover relevant aspects of chemical and physical processes of the production and characterization of magnetic materials in bulk, thin films, nanostructures, and/or nanocomposites, as well as modeling aspects involving such structures. Accordingly, this volume presents eleven original research and review works on the challenges and trends covering fundamental and experimental work, with a special focus on the design, synthesis, and characterization of various types of magnetic materials, and the study of their structure–property relationships. State-of-the-art results on the development of new experimental concepts, leading to the transfer, chemical transformation, and high-resolution patterning of advanced thin films and nanomaterials, and to the design and fabrication of devices, are also presented and discussed.
