Product Description
The superb book describes the modern theory of the magnetic properties of solids. Starting from fundamental principles, this copiously illustrated volume outlines the theory of magnetic behaviour, describes experimental techniques, and discusses current research topics. The book is intended for final year undergraduate students and graduate students in the physical sciences…. More >>

This book is an easy to read overview of the subject. It’s a good book to review the fundamentals (para/dia/ferro/anti magnetism,
exchange interaction, etc.). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the price is a bit high, and sometimes the treatments lacks depth.
Rating: 4 / 5

This is a very nice book for someone new to the field, or for someone who wants to get a broad overview of some of the newer topics in magnetism. I do wish it had more of an emphasis on statistical mechanics though, since that’s absolutely critical for really understanding magnetic behavior.

This book is great. I recommend to anyone who needs a book to which summarizes various concepts of physics of condensed matter.
