David Jiles, PhD, DSc, is chairman of department and holds the Palmer Endowed Chair in electrical and computer engineering at Iowa State University. He is also Anson Marston distinguished professor of engineering. His research interests include medical applications of magnetics, nonlinear and hysteretic behavior of magnetic materials, magnetoelasticity and magnetomechanical effects, development of novel magnetic materials, and applications of magnetic measurements to nondestructive evaluation. He has authored more than 600 scientific papers, published three books, and holds 19 patents. He is a fellow of IEEE and several other societies and institutions.
"While the second edition provided many problems to enhance the
learning and became the most-loved textbook for the first course in
magnetism, the third edition includes many applications, new
magnetic materials, and new topics like nanomagnetism. The
much-awaited third edition is a must for magnetism
enthusiasts."
—Arti Kashyap, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi"Understanding
magnetism is one of the most difficult challenges in physics. This
book develops the concept of magnetism starting from basic
electromagnetism in chapter 1 and gradually introduces advanced
concepts all the way to quantum magnetism in chapter 11. Various
fundamental concepts are explained by answering key questions posed
in the beginning of each topic. This makes the book quite
interactive for the reader. The second part of this book covers a
wide range of applications of magnetic materials including advanced
techniques such as magnetic imaging, magnetic recording etc. Each
topic is discussed at length covering almost all situations that
may appear in real materials. The book also contains a large number
of problems which are very useful for undergraduate students."
—Dr. Tulika Maitra, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee"…a great
contribution to the subject of magnetic materials."
—Edward Della Torre, Director, Institute for Magnetic Research,
George Washington University, Washington, D.C., USA"…an excellent
introductory text."
—Roy Chantrell, University of York, UK"…a welcome update. …a useful
textbook for students approaching magnetism for the first time, as
well as a quick reference for anybody seeking information about
notions and facts pertaining to magnetism and magnetic
materials."
—Giorgio Bertotti, INRIM, Torino, Italy"…distinctly pedagogical;
one would expect no less from one of the world’s foremost educators
and academic leaders in magnetics."
—Ron B. Goldfarb, National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Boulder, Colorado, USA"…the author plainly conveys the main
physical ideas lying behind the macroscopic phenomenology of
magnetism in the materials and their ultimate realization in actual
technological applications."
—Dr. Fausto Fiorillo, INRIM, Torino, Italy"The title of this book
is somewhat misleading. Though this is not an exhaustive treatment
of the subject, especially with regard to materials, it goes well
beyond an introduction. The text effectively balances theory,
practical use, and assessment of understanding, thus making it an
excellent choice for an advanced magnetism course. The author's
discussion of magnetism on the microscopic scale is particularly
noteworthy and leads readers to both a neoclassic and a modern
understanding of the underlying processes involved in magnetism. A
plethora of graphs and tables helps illustrate the points being
made, but Jiles (Iowa State Univ.) does not overuse this
communicative form. His writing is clear, pointed, and accessible
to serious readers. Although there were times when this reviewer
felt the number of equations could have been reduced without
sacrificing clarity, these instances were few. References at the
end of each chapter provide all the background needed to access
advanced materials or seek a more basic understanding. This new
edition (2nd ed., 1998; 1st ed., CH, Jan'92, 29-2776) has been
thoroughly revised, with much new material presented in section 3.
Overall, this is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to
understand this rather complicated and difficult subject."
