Magnetic Nano- and Microwires [EPUB ebook] 
Design, Synthesis, Properties and Applications

Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development ofenhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) andsensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, andnon-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domainwalls; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storagedevices. Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires andmicrowires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowireheterostructures using such methods as sol-gel and electrodepositioncombinations, focused-electron/ion-beam-induced deposition, chemicalvapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magneticand transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwiresare then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a widerange of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, includingmemory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermalspin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch pointdynamics. – Detailed coverage of multiple key techniques for the growth and processing of nanowires and microwires- Reviews the principles and difficulties involved in applying magnetic nano- and microwires to a wide range of applications- Combines the expertise of specialists from around the globe to give a broad overview of current and future trends
