Ferromagnetism reference

[Greg Quinting <gregq@xxxxxxx>]

Hello:

Finally a chance to contribute to the FEMM forum!

It seems somewhat often that members post questions on magnetic 
properties of various materials, e.g. B v H curve of steels, etc. A 
rather old, but well-regarded book that I recently purchased on a 
recommendation is one many of you already might know:

Ferromagnetism by Richard M. Bozworth

PREFACE
The material of this book is the background knowledge that has been 
useful to various members of the Bell Telephone
Laboratories who have been actively interested in ferromagnetism. These 
staff members fall into three main categories:
(1) physicists engaged in research on the nature of ferromagnetic 
phenomena, (2) those carrying on the development of
new magnetic materials, and (3) engineers interested in the properties 
and behavior of magnetic materials suitable for use
in apparatus. The knowledge has been drawn from the fields of 
metallurgy, chemistry, and electrical engineering, as well
as from the field of physics.

The book is divided into two main parts, which describe respectively the 
properties of magnetic materials and the nature
of magnetic phenomena. These two portions of ferromagnetism are brought 
together in one book in the belief that each
part is necessary for the development of the other - the physicist needs 
the empirical data and the engineer should under-
stand the principles governing the material that he uses. The approach 
is mainly descriptive and nonmathematical when
discussing materials, and the emphasis is on the physical concepts when 
discussing theory. In many places only the
outline and the results of analysis have been given, and the reader may 
regard these places as problems and fill in the
missing steps, if he desires.
