Magnetism

Covering all aspects of magnetism, this undergraduate text provides a detailed discussion of the underlying principles, simplified accounts of spin waves and magnetic resonance imaging, descriptions of numerical methods, and a review of the most recent developments in the field.

---

Magnetism is a subject covered by all undergraduate physics, chemistry and materials science courses. This is a comprehensive guide to the underlying principles of magnetism. Equal emphasis is given to both the general and technical aspects of the subject, with a review of quantum theory as applied to spin magnetic moments, crystal field effects and the response of spins to magnetic fields. Magnetism is also discussed with reference to modern materials and magnetic resonance imaging - a powerful diagnostic technique.
