Processing in magnetic fields is a rapidly expanding research area with a wide range of promising applications in materials science, development and design. Industry now offers a variety of superconducting magnets specifically designed for this purpose and equipped with cryocoolers that eliminate the need for cryogenic fluids. Numerous research centers dedicated to materials research and processing in magnetic fields have been created around the world. This book is the result of an international by-invitation-only workshop that has been organized to review the most recent activities in this field. Over 50 scientists participated and 39 papers were selected for inclusion in this book.
