Magnetic materials. Trend in magnetic materials, expectations for synchrotron beam, neutron and muon

Recently, to obtain higher performance both soft and hard magnetic materials, nano-structural control become indispensable. Because of this circumstance, researcher needs both local precise information and averaged hierarchical information to reveal origin of material performance. In order to do so, utilizing quantum beam, i.e. synchrotron beam, neutron and muon, analysis is important. In this article, examples of utilizing quantum beam analysis for magnetic material research are introduced. In addition, importance of quantifying material data will be mentioned for next generation material research. (author)
