Fall 2024 Lecture Upper Division
This course provides an introduction of the basic physical and structural properties that determine the functionality of magnetic materials and devices. Starting from basic concepts on the physics of magnetism, materials synthesis and device fabrication, the functional requirements of magnetic materials for diverse applications will be discussed. Magnetic material properties depend on the electronic structure of the constituent elements and their electronic interactions. These interactions are controlled by their atomic arrangement, microstructure, defects, and strain fields that distort the local atomic order. Furthermore, the role of reduced dimensionality on the physical and functional properties of nanoscale materials will be discussed.
