Review

"Fundamental aspects, as well as technological applications that arise from condensed matter physics are covered." (Materials World, 1 February 2011)

From the Back Cover

This book focuses on the topic of magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic oxide materials with emphasis on surfaces, interfaces, thin films, and multilayers. Fundamental aspects as well as technological applications arising from this fascinating area of condensed matter physics are highlighted.

Subjects covered are:Growth of Antiferromagnetic Oxide Thin FilmsDichroism in X-ray Absorption for the Study of Antiferromagnetic MaterialsAntiferromagnetic Oxide Films on Non-magnetic SubstratesExchange Bias by Antiferromagnetic OxidesTheory of Ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic Interface CouplingAntiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic Oxide MultilayersMicromagnetic Structure: Imaging Antiferromagnetic Domains

The result is a very timely monograph for solid state physicists and chemists, materials scientists, electrical engineers, physicists in industry, and physical laboratory technicians.
