Review: This book arose from the conference held in Kobe in September 2001. The 20 chapters are divided into three sections: nanocrystalline alloys; novel nanomaterials, and magnetic nanomaterials. The section on nanocrystalline alloys is especially concerned with metallic alloys, with papers on the thermodynamics of nanocrystalline materials, Al alloys, amorphous alloys, and Ni, Cu and Ti amorphous alloys. The section on novel Nanomaterials describes nano-optoelectronic materials; steels manufactured by plastic deformation, and metal–ceramic and ceramic–ceramic nanocomposite materials. the last section describes the magnetic behaviour of nanomaterials and the magnetic properties of different nanocrystalline alloys. Industrial applications of both hard and soft ferromagnetic nanocrystalline alloys are also described.
