Simple Models of Magnetism (Oxford Graduate Texts) 1st Edition by Ralph Skomski (PDF)

Description

For hundreds of years, models of magnetism have been pivotal in the understanding and advancement of science and technology, from the Earth’s interpretation as a magnetic dipole to quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and modern nanotechnology. This book is the first to envision the field of magnetism in its entirety. It complements a rich literature on specific models of magnetism and provides an introduction to simple models, including some simple limits of complicated models. The book is written in an easily accessible style, with a limited amount of mathematics, and covers a wide range of quantum-mechanical, finite-temperature, micromagnetic and dynamical models. It deals not only with basic magnetic quantities, such as moment, Curie temperature, anisotropy, and coercivity, but also with modern areas such as nanomagnetism and spintronics, and with ‘exotic’ themes, as exemplified by the polymer analogy of magnetic phase transitions. Throughout the book, a sharp line isdrawn between simple and simplistic models, and much space is devoted to discuss the merits and failures of the individual model approaches.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review `This is a highly readable and thorough account of models of magnetism, particularly applied to metallic magnets, that will be of great use to graduate students and experts in the field alike. The appendices are very thorough and contain a lot of helpful information, and the panels are well used. The exercises at the end of each chapter are short and pithy and a good addition.’ Stephen Blundell, University of Oxford About the Author Ralph SkomskiResearch Associate ProfessorCenter for Materials Research and AnalysisUniversity of Nebraska 2002- present Research Associate Professor, University of Nebraska1999-2002 Research Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska1998 Visiting Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska1995-1997 Postdoctoral Researcher, MPI für Mikrostrukturphysik, Halle1991-1995 Postdoctoral Researcher, Trinity College, Dublin1991 Ph.D., TU Dresden, Thesis “Theory of partially ordered magnetic solids”1986 Dipl.-Phys., THLM Merseburg, Thesis: “Theory of the elasticity of polymer networks”

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐i would describe this book as a mixed blessing, the intention is great, unfortunately the executions falls a bit short.all the topics one would wish to be addressed are included, yet in most cases the treatment is simply missing depth & clarityin a way the book seems to be trying to cover to many subjects.the other important piece to note is that it requires a very solid understanding of the topics from the reader in order to followthis is definitely not an introductory book .. of cause this is not a fault, merely an observation

⭐I bought this book recently. It is very compact and simple. It is very useful to understand the basics of certain aspects of magnetism. I suggest this book to every Graduate student working on magnetism.
