Modern Magnetic and Spintronic Materials - Properties and Applications

Magnetic and spintronic materials are ubiquitous in modern technological applications, e.g. in electric motors, power generators, sensors and actuators, not to mention information storage and processing. Medical technology has also greatly benefited from magnetic materials - especially magnetic nanoparticles - for therapy and diagnostics methods.

All of the above-mentioned applications rely on the properties of the materials used. These properties in turn depend on intrinsic and extrinsic material parameters. The former are related to the actual elements used and their properties, e.g. atomic magnetic moment and exchange interaction between atoms; the latter are related to the structural and microstructural properties of the materials used, e.g. their crystal structure, grain size, and grain boundary phases.
Focusing on state-of-the-art magnetic and spintronic materials, this book will introduce readers to a range of related topics in Physics and Materials Science. Phenomena and processes at the nanoscale are of particular importance in this context; accordingly, much of the book addresses such topics.

Dr. Vladymyrskyi is an Associate Professor of Metals Physics Department of National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute". He received his PhD degree from the same University in 2014. Research interests of Dr. Vladymyrskyi focus on structural phase transitions in nanoscale metallic layered thin films, diffusion and diffusion-controlled phenomena in these materials, their structural, magnetic and electrical properties. Recent works are devoted to thermally-induced diffusion formation of ferromagnetic L1₀ ordered thin films - e.g. L1₀-FePt, L1₀-FePd, L1₀-MnAl - promising materials for applications as magnetic recording medium with ultrahigh recording density or ferromagnetic electrodes of spintronic devices with an excellent functionality. Dr. Vladymyrskyi has coauthored about 30 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. He is a co-leader of a joint with Augsburg University (Germany) project "Cold homogenization of Fe/Pt based layered thin films induced by diffusion processes" funded by German Research Foundation (DFG).
