Richard J. Gambino received his M.S. degree in chemistry from Polytechnic Institute of New York in 1976 and his B.S. degree from the University of Connecticut in 1957. He is professor of Materials Science and Engineering and director of the Laboratory for Magneto-Optical Materials at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His work on magneto-optical storage began at IBM Research, where he was a member of the research staff from 1961 until he retired in 1993.

In 1995 Mr. Gambino was awarded the National Medal for Technology by President Clinton for the development of the amorphous magnetic materials used for magneto-optic disk media. He received the Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award of the IEEE in 1992 and the IBM Corporate Award in 1991 for his work on amorphous magnetic materials. He holds 40 patents on materials and devices. He is a member of the IEEE Magnetics Society, the Materials Research Society, the American Vacuum Society, Sigma Xi, and Tau Beta Pi. Mr. Gambino is an IEEE Fellow.

Description          : As digital data storage technology undergoes
                       enormous change, electrical engineers, physicists,
                       and material scientists need to keep pace with the
                       materials requirements for recording media. Expert
                       contributors -- together with world-class
                       authorities Richard J. Gambino and Takao Suzuki --
                       bring you a practical, comprehensive guide to
                       materials design and selection for magneto-optical
                       storage media.  This authoritative book explores
                       multilayered thin films, exchanged coupled layers,
                       materials used in current products, and materials
                       of potential interest not yet available in
                       practical applications. A detailed analysis
                       concerning the physics of magneto-optical
                       recording will help you make informed decisions
                       about materials properties. You will also find an
                       extensive discussion of systems and engineering
                       design features for magneto-optical storage
                       devices. This discussion will help you to
                       understand how materials properties impact system
                       performance.  You will gain additional insight
                       into this fast-developing field through in-depth
                       coverage of these featured topics: * Rare
                       earth-transition metal amorphous alloys,
                       multilayers, garnets, intermetallic compounds, and
                       ferrites * Basic principles of domain dynamics and
                       recording physics * Latest developments in
                       exchange coupled layers, direct overwrite, and
                       magnetic superresolution
