MATSCEN 6778
Transcript Abbreviation:
Magnetic Matls
Course Description:
This course teaches the basic properties of magnetic materials in a wide class of materials including metals, insulators, semiconductors. The relationships between structure, composition, processing, and magnetic properties will be reviewed with a special focus on the atomic origins of magnetism and the ability to engineer these mechanisms through alloying or doping, or layered structures.
