Magnetic Materials
Abstract
The report describes the fundamental role that magnetic materials play in many of the electrical and electronic systems used by modern society. It reviews the status of magnetic materials in their current engineering applications and identifies technical issues whose resolution would lead to improved performance in such applications as well as for new applications of these materials. The report recommends more research in the areas of rare-earth permanent magnets, amorphous magnetic materials and recording media and lists a number of scientific challenges. Keywords include: Permanent magnets; Amorphous magnetic materials; Semi hard magnets; Soft magnetic materials; Storage media; Magnetic bubbles; Transducers (magnetostriction and magnetoresistance); Electrophotography; Ferrofluids; Magneto-optic materials.
