Monograph Series in
Physical Sciences
This monograph series brings together focused books for researchers and professionals
in physical sciences. They are designed to offer expert summaries of cutting-edge topics
at a level accessible to nonspecialists. As such, the authors are encouraged to include
sufficient background information and an overview of fundamental concepts, together
with presentation of the state-of-the-art theory, methods, and applications. Theory
and experiment are both covered. This approach makes these titles suitable for some
specialty courses at the graduate level as well. Subject matter addressed by this series
includes condensed matter physics; quantum sciences; atomic, molecular, and plasma
physics; energy science; nanoscience; spectroscopy; mathematical physics; geophysics;
environmental physics; and other areas.
Proposals for new volumes in the series may be directed to Lu Han, senior publishing
editor at CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group ([email protected]).

Preface
This book has been developed as an overview of exchange-coupled magnetic systems for
an audience of graduate students and scientists in both academic and industrial sectors.
It provides a broad overview of several existing studies concerned with the understand-
ing of exchange bias in magnetic nanostructures, presenting key examples from thin
films to nanogranular and bulk systems.
This contributed volume shares the up-to-date progress in the area of exchange bias
with an in-depth investigation of the cutting-edge developments on this particular sub-
ject. The first chapter serves as an introductory material, thereby enabling it to serve as a
first text for researchers working in the area of magnetism and exchange bias.
This book has been intended as a forum for the critical evaluation of many aspects
of exchange bias phenomenon that are at the forefront of research in the magnetism
industry. Chapter authors have also been encouraged to present the highlights from the
extensive literature on the topic, including the latest research in this field.
