Theory of magnetism : application to surface physics / Hung T. Diep.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Singapore : World Scientific, c2014.Description: xvii, 420 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9789814569941 (hardcover : alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 538.01 23 D562
Contents:
1. Magnetism of free electrons and atoms -- 2. Exchange interaction in an electron gas -- 3. Magnetic exchange interactions -- 4. Magnetism : mean-field theory -- 5. Theory of magnons -- 6. Green's function method in magnetism -- 7. Phase transition -- 8. Methods of Monte Carlo simulation -- 9. Magnetic properties of thin films -- 10. Monte Carlo simulation of spin transport-- Solutions of problems-- Appendices-- Bibliography-- Index.
Summary: The book is intended for graduate students and researchers who wish to learn the main properties of magnetic materials in the bulk state and at the nanometric scale such as thin films and multilayers. The book provides fundamental theories and methods of simulation to study and to understand these properties in an explicit manner. Exercises and problems are given for each chapter to help the reader apply the methods to discover new related phenomena and applications which are complementary to the lecture. Detailed solutions are provided for self-learning. In the first part of the book, fundamental methods in magnetism are presented: systems of independent electrons and atoms, systems of interacting spins, spin-wave theory, spin transport, phase transition,... The second part is devoted to surface effects and thin films.
