Book excerpt: Ferrite Nanostructured Magnetic Materials: Technologies and Applications provides detailed descriptions of the physical properties of ferrite nanoparticles and thin films. Synthesis methods and their applications in numerous fields are also included. And, since characterization methods play an important role in investigating the materials' phenomena, various characterization tools applied to ferrite materials are also discussed. To meet the requirements of next-generation characterization tools in the field of ferrite research, synchrotron radiation-based spectroscopic and imaging tools are thoroughly explored.Finally, the book discusses current and emerging applications of ferrite nanostructured materials in industry, health, catalytic and environmental fields, making this comprehensive resource suitable for researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, chemistry and physics. - Reviews the fundamentals of ferrite materials, including their magnetic, electrical, dielectric and optical properties - Includes discussions on the most relevant and emerging synthesis and optimization of ferrite nanostructured materials for a diverse range of morphologies - Provides an overview of both the most relevant and emerging applications of ferrite magnetic materials in industry, health, energy and environmental remediation
