An ensemble of nanoparticles in which the inter-particle magnetic interactions are
sufficiently weak shows superparamagnetic behaviour as described by the Néel–Brown …

We review the recent developments in the electric field control of magnetism in multiferroic
heterostructures, which consist of heterogeneous materials systems where a …

The existence of magnetic domains arises from the action of several interactions present in
magnetic materials, mainly exchange, anisotropy, and dipolar. This chapter deals with some …

Volume 15 of the Handbook on the Properties of Magnetic Materials, as the preceding
