Modern Ferrite Technology
odern Ferrite Technology ; 2nd ed. offers the readers an expert overview of the latest ferrite advances as well as their applications in electronic components. This volume develops the interplay among material properties, component specification and device requirements using ferrites. Throughout, emphasis is placed on practical technological concerns as opposed to mathematical and physical aspects of the subject. The book traces the origin of the magnetic effect in ferrites from the level of the simplest particle and then increases the scope to include larger hierarchies. From the desired magnetic properties, the author deduces the physical and chemical material parameters, taking into consideration major chemistry, impurity levels, ceramic microstructures and grain boundary effects. He then discusses the processing conditions and associated conditions required for implementation. In addition to conventional ceramic techniques, he describes non-conventional methods such as co-precipitation, co-spray roasting and single crystal growth.

Part II studies five dominant deep learning model designs - Artificial Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Attention and Transformers, and Tree-Rooted Networks - through both their 'default' usage and their application to tabular data. Part III compounds the power of the previously covered methods by surveying strategies and techniques to supercharge deep learning systems: autoencoders, deep data generation, meta-optimization, multi-model arrangement, and neural network interpretability.
