Traditionally, the primary field, where curvature has been at the heart of research, is the
theory of general relativity. In recent studies, however, the impact of curvilinear geometry …

Extending planar two-dimensional structures into the three-dimensional space has become
a general trend in multiple disciplines, including electronics, photonics, plasmonics and …

We fabricated self-powered colloidal Janus motors combining catalytic and magnetic cap
structures, and demonstrated their performance for manipulation (uploading, transportation …

A magnetic energy functional is derived for an arbitrary curved thin shell on the assumption
that the magnetostatic effects can be reduced to an effective easy-surface anisotropy; it can …

In curved geometries, a lot of novel curvature-driven effects are discovered due to the
curvature-induced effective anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction. Curvature …

Topologically stable structures include vortices in a wide variety of matter, skyrmions in ferro-
and antiferromagnets, and hedgehog point defects in liquid crystals and ferromagnets …

By engineering thin magnetic films onto homogeneous colloidal particles, various crystalline
lattices are induced from simple magnetic Janus spheres. In situ formation of dicolloids …

Today magnetic recording is still the leading technology for mass data storage. Its dominant
role is being reinforced by the success of cloud computing, which requires storing and …

Magnetism in curved nano-geometries has opened a new path to design novel
characteristics and phenomena that could greatly impact the future fundamental and applied …

This textbook is aimed at engineering students who are likely to come across magnetics
applications in their professional practice. Whether designing lithography equipment …
