MODERN FERRITES, Volume 1 A robust exploration of the basic principles of ferrimagnetics and their applications In Modern Ferrites Volume 1: Basic Principles, Processing and Properties, renowned researcher and educator Vincent G. Harris delivers a comprehensive overview of the basic principles and ferrimagnetic phenomena of modern ferrite materials. Volume 1 explores the fundamental properties of ferrite systems, including their structure, chemistry, and magnetism; the latest in processing methodologies; and the unique properties that result. The authors explore the processing, structure, and property relationships in ferrites as nanoparticles, thin and thick films, compacts, and crystals and how these relationships are key to realizing practical device applications laying the foundation for next generation technologies. This volume also includes: * Comprehensive investigation of the historical and scientific significance of ferrites upon ancient and modern societies; * Neel's expanded theory of molecular field magnetism applied to ferrimagnetic oxides together with theoretic advances in density functional theory; * Nonlinear excitations in ferrite systems and their potential for device technologies; * Practical discussions of nanoparticle, thin, and thick film growth techniques; * Ferrite-based electronic band-gap heterostructures and metamaterials. Perfect for RF engineers and magnetitians working in the field of RF electronics, radar, communications, and spintronics as well as other emerging technologies. Modern Ferrites will earn a place on the bookshelves of engineers and scientists interested in the ever-expanding technologies reliant upon ferrite materials and new processing methodologies. Modern Ferrites Volume 2: Emerging Technologies and Applications is also available (ISBN: 9781394156139).

In 1990, I graduated with a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering having completed a dissertation on the microwave properties of ferromagnetic metallic glassy films. The novelty of my dissertation was the correlation of atomic structure with magnetic and microwave gyromagnetic properties. Soon afterward, I took a National Research Council fellowship at the Naval Research Laboratory (Washington, DC, USA) and eventually was hired in the study of rare earth magnetism and atomic spectroscopy.
In 1994, I informed my then boss, Dr. Norman Koon, of my ambition to study magnetic oxides. He was rather obstinate: “I have studied magnetic metals for 40 years and have just begun to understand them! I am not about to change now!” (Note: Dr. Koon was a giant in magnetism. So his statement is more than a little self-deprecating.) That day marked my excursion into ferrites.
Several years ago, after nearly three decades of research in ferrites, I took on the responsibility as the editor of this project, having come to an agreement with the Wiley Publishing Company to complete this assignment in a single year. Although I attribute delays to what I affectionately refer to my herding of friends and colleagues, i.e. my coauthors, in truth, the delays were due to my lack of discipline, copious distractions, and duties that weighed heavily upon me at inopportune times. I attribute its completion to the dogged supervision of our efforts by Ms. Sandra Grayson and Ms. Juliet Booker of the Wiley Publishing Company.
The motivation for this undertaking was to create a modern-day text on ferrites. Modern Ferrites Volume 1: Basic Principles, Processing, and Properties covers aspects of ferrite structures, chemistry, physics, magnetism, gyromagnetic properties, processing, and properties, among other topics of relevance to students and practitioners.
Modern Ferrites Volume 2: Emerging Technologies and Applications addresses not only conventional ferrites as inductors, permanent magnets, electromagnetic shielding, and absorbers but also their role in emerging fields of magnetoelectrics, multiferroics, medical magnetism, nonlinear microwave devices, and ferrite-based metamaterial devices.
Our aspirations are bold. The contributing authors are experts chosen from the international community who have distinguished themselves throughout their careers and provide here superior products to the reader. Some have invited aspiring younger colleagues as coauthors who show singular potential. Our mutual experiences include an education weaned on tomes of the masters. These include those of Smit and Wijn, von Aulock, Soohoo, Lax and Button, Goldman, and others. Our principal goal is to complement those collections with the addition of a modern text covering both basic principles and emerging applications of particular value to the science and engineering communities while maintaining the standards of excellence embraced by those who came before us.
A project like this is always the result of a group effort, and this text is no different. I am thankful and indebted to my family, students, staff, and friends who assisted in the preparation of this text. A special thanks goes to Ms. Mary Zeng who has assisted me and other authors in editing, formatting, referencing, and submission of chapters to the Wiley Publishing Company. I thank you.
As mentioned, Wiley Publishing Company’s Ms. Sandra Grayson and Ms. Juliet Booker, and others on the Wiley editorial staff, were of immense value in guiding this project through to its completion and showing uncommon patience with its editor. I thank you.
Finally, I thank each of the contributing authors and coauthors for their hard work and commitment in sharing with our readers their life lessons and experiences in ferrite research.
In closing, sadly, during the production of this text, our community has lost some of its most valued leaders; persons who were exceptional scholars, mentors, educators, and friends. These individuals include: Dr. Gerald Dione (2020) of MIT Lincoln Labs, a renowned expert in all aspects of magnetic oxides, including the physics as well as engineering of magnetoceramics; Dr. John Douglas Adam (1943–2018), formally of Westinghouse and Northrop Grumman Corporation, the principal inventor of many important nonlinear ferrite devices and developer of advanced ferrite LPE growth techniques; Prof. Takanori Tsutaoka (1959–2019) of Hiroshima University, an expert and innovator of high-frequency magnetic materials, composites, and metamaterials; and Prof. Boris Kalinikos of St. Petersburg’s Electrotechnical University and Colorado State University at Fort Collins, who had made several important contributions to the understanding of nonlinear properties of ferrites and fundamental loss mechanisms and had through his many contributions laid the foundations to the emerging field of Magnonics (a growing subfield of Spintronics). I speak for many in saying that we stand on the shoulders of these intellectual giants. May their souls rest in peace, knowing that they leave behind more than technical papers and discoveries, but a legacy of grateful students, valued friendships, and treasured memories.
Alas, we have come to the end of this long road…. the asphalt has turned to sand.
Here, our product is laid bare for your judgment. May you find value in our endeavor.
