ABSTRACT
Remarkable progress has been achieved in recent times toward
the development of technological applications of nanomagnetism,
stimulated by the small gap that exists between basic studies and
applications. Thus, this book concentrates on recent developments
of interest at both application and fundamental fronts, as described
by leading experts in nanomagnetism. The range of topics covered
spans spintronics applications; chemically ordered microstructures leading to strong magnetic anisotropy such as L10 alloy thin films and nanostructures; relaxation dynamics in spintronic materials,
magnetic nanoparticles, and nanodevices; magnetic exchange in
molecule-based magnets; nonlinear dynamic properties of two-
dimensional arrays of magnetic nanodots; nonlinear optics in
magnetic nanostructures; and magnetoplasmonic materials and
spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
