This review deals with the definition and development of hard magnetic materials with special emphasis on more recent developments in this field. After discussing the fundamental properties of all hard magnetic materials, based on the intrinsic and extrinsic properties, some remarks on the history of hard magnetic materials and permanent magnets are given. The important hard ferrites are only b...

The effect of arrays of nanometer scale pores on the magnetic properties of thin films has been analyzed. Particularly, we investigated the influence of the out-of-plane magnetization component created by the nanopores on the in-plane magnetic behavior of patterned hard/soft magnetic thin films in antidot morphology. Its influence on the coupling in Co/Py bilayers of few tens of nanometer thick...

A trend of increased Electric Power in Aircraft stresses the need of robust, low weight systems with low losses. New hard and soft magnetic materials have made it feasible to work with high speed and high frequency. Applications of new soft magnetic materials and hard magnetic materials like NeFeB magnets have enabled high density power generation systems. A new concept comprising a high speed ...

Cobalt ferrite or CoFe2O4 has unique physical and magnetic properties depend on its synthesis method. The application of cobalt ferrite as nanomedicine material become more interesting, however analysis on physical and magnetic properties based on synthesis method have not been discussed. The cobalt ferrite in this research was synthesised using two different methods: the ...
