Encyclopedia Magnetica™ is an encyclopaedia of magnetics.

It contains encyclopaedic articles on various topics from the area of widely applied “magnetics”: from theory and physics, through materials, devices, machines, sensors, technologies, to application in science, medicine, everyday life and much more.

In Chat-GPT words (2023-09-10): Encyclopedia Magnetica is a comprehensive online resource dedicated to magnetism and related topics. It provides a wealth of information on various aspects of magnetism, including magnetic materials, magnetic properties, applications of magnets, and more. It's a valuable reference for researchers, students, and anyone interested in learning about magnetism and its applications.

In Wikipedia the articles are written by many authors, often anonymous. Although mostly correct, the articles might contain errors, and the sources of the information are often not given. It is almost impossible to verify who are the authors of a given article or paragraph, what is their background, what are the sources on which the information is based.

Encyclopedia Magnetica was started on 25^th September 2012 by Dr Stan Zurek, who holds a PhD and DSc in magnetics-related discipline and is a Senior Member of IEEE, Magnetics Society and a Fellow Member of IET. He has been working for number of years in academia and industry and authored over 100 scientific and technical publications, as well as participated in a number of international and UK magnetic conferences.

Each article is written or verified either by Stan Zurek, or by another colleague with appropriate degree or experience in magnetics, or a related field, such as Dr Jeanete Leicht, Mr Jeff Jones, or Dr Krzysztof Chwastek.

All articles are supported by references (listed at the bottom of each page), which are sources of the factual information, equations, diagrams, etc. These are: books, peer reviewed papers, PhD theses, or manufacturer information (for instance if specific devices or materials are mentioned). Wikipedia and/or Wikimedia Commons might be used sometimes only as a source of images.

Because of such publication process the presented information is more reliable. The articles might not be complete, but they will not contain false unreferenced information. The Authors do not claim to posses absolute knowledge in all imaginable sub-areas of magnetics. But their expertise allows much more weighted judgement on the quality of the sources, so that the Reader can have greater confidence in the quality of the presented information, as compared to Wikipedia.

Of course inaccuracies might occur if they exist in the original sources, or are difficult to interpret. Should any mistakes be spotted please let us know and we will correct them immediately. Contact details are given in the next section.

The full review process is described here: Review process.

Each article starts with an intuitive concise definition, followed by a more detailed text. Each article is signed with a real name of the author(s), with link to authors' personal pages. Date of the latest modification is also included (at the bottom of the page) for benefit of the Readers.
