Product Description
The aim of this book is to review recent achievements in thetheoretical investigations of the electronic structure, optical,magneto-optical (MO), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)properties of compounds and Multilayered structures. Chapter 1 of this book is of an introductory character and presentsthe theoretical foundations of the band theory of solids such as thedensity functional theory for ground state properties of solidsincluding local density approximation (LDA). It also presents somemodifications to the LDA, such as gradient correction,self-interaction correction, LDA+U method, orbital polarizationcorrection, GW approximation, and dynamical mean- field theory. Thedescription of the magneto-optical effects and linear response theoryis also presented. The book describes the MO properties for a number of 3d materials,such as elemental ferromagnetic metals (Fe, Co and Ni) andparamagnetic metals in external magnetic fields (Pd and Pt), someimportant 3d compounds such as XPt3 (X=V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co), Heusleralloys, chromium spinel chalcogenides, MnB and strongly correlatedmagnetite Fe304. It also describes the recent achievements in both theexperimental and theoretical investigations of the electronicstructure, optical and MO properties of transition metal multilayeredstructures (MLS). The book presents also the MO properties of f band ferromagneticmaterials: Tm, Nd, Sm, Ce and La monochalcogenides, some important Ybcompounds, SmB6 and Nd3S4, UFe2, U3X4 (X=P, As, Sb, Bi, Se and Te),UCu2P2, UCuP2, UCuAs2, UAsSe, URhA1, UGa2 and UPd3. Within the totalgroup of alloys and compounds, we discuss their MO spectra inrelationship to: the spin-orbit coupling strength, the magnitude ofthe local magnetic moment, the degree of hybridization in the bonding,the half-metallic character, or, equivalently, the Fermi level fillingof the bandstructure, the intraband plasma frequency, and theinfluence of the crystal structure. In the last chapter results of recent theoretical investigations onthe MXCD in various representative transition metal 4f and 5f systemsare presented. ... Read more

Product Description
The fundamental physics of metallic magnetism is not yetsatisfactorily understood and continues to be interesting. Forinstance, magnetism is anticipated to play a principal role inproducing high Tc superconductivity of oxides. This book has two major objectives. First, it intends to provide anintroduction to magnetism of metals in a broad sense. Besides pursuingthe mechanism of metallic magnetism itself, it attempts to find andactively analyze magnetic causes hidden hitherto unnoticed behindvarious physical phenomena. The author's goal is to expose the fundamental role played by phononsin the mechanism of metallic magnetism. He demonstrates how such aview also helps to elucidate a broad spectrum of other observations.The second objective is to concisely introduce the standard many-bodypoints of view and techniques necessary in studying solid physics ingeneral. ...

Product Description
Molecular Magnetism: From Molecular Assemblies to theDevices reviews the state of the art in the area. It is organizedin two parts, the first of which introduces the basic concepts,theories and physical techniques required for the investigation of themagnetic molecular materials, comparing them with those used in thestudy of classical magnetic materials. Here the reader will find: (i)a detailed discussion of the electronic processes involved in themagnetic interaction mechanisms of molecular systems, includingelectron delocalization and spin polarization effects; (ii) apresentation of the available theoretical models based on spin andHubbard Hamiltonians; and (iii) a description of the specific physicalinvestigative techniques used to characterize the materials. The second part presents the different classes of existing magneticmolecular materials, focusing on the possible synthetic strategiesdeveloped to date to assemble the molecular building blocks rangingfrom purely organic to inorganic materials, as well as on theirphysical properties and potential applications. These materialscomprise inorganic and organic ferro- and ferrimagnets, highnuclearity organic molecules and magnetic and metallic clusters, spincrossover systems, charge transfer salts (including fulleride saltsand organic conductors and superconductors), and organized soft media(magnetic liquid crystals and Langmuir--Blodgett films). ...

Product Description
Molecular magnetism is a new field of research dealing with the synthesis and study of the physical properties of molecular assemblies involving open-shell units. It is essentially interdisciplinary, joining together organic, organometallic and inorganic chemists, as well as theoreticians, physicists and materials scientists.
At the core of research into molecular magnetism lie design and synthesis of new molecular assemblies exhibiting bulk properties such as long-range magnetic ordering or bistability with an hysteresis effect, which confers a memory effect on the system. In such terms, magnetism may be considered a supramolecular function.
The first eight contributions to this volume present the state of the art in organic supramolecular chemistry, emphasising interlocked systems and molecular trees. The following six articles are devoted to molecular materials constructed from organic radicals and transition metal units. Molecular bistability is then focused on, followed by metal-organic and coordination magnetic materials. A new approach to nano-sized particles closes the work. ... Read more

Product Description

The field of magnetism is rapidly advancing in this new millennium, revealing an ever-wider diversity of magnetic phenomena on more than one scale. With the emergence of countless applications particularly on a nanoscale, and their unpredictable implications mostly on a macroscale, it may seem that different aspects of magnetism are unrelated. Quite often, the overwhelming amount of topics discussed in the professional literature views only parts of a field, ignoring a broader context. Therefore, the present book aims at addressing the relationship between apparently unconnected topics in magnetism. Less obvious relationships are revealed among individual fields on various scales, making them better understandable.

Product Description
In the past few years our understanding of magnetic behavior, once thought to be mature, has enjoyed a new impetus from contributions ranging from molecular chemistry, materials chemistry and sciences to solid-state physics. The book spans recent trends in magnetism for molecule - as well as inorganic-based materials, with emphasis on new phenomena
being explored from both experimental and theoretical points of view with the aim of understanding magnetism at the atomic scale.

Reflecting contemporary knowledge, this is a much-needed and comprehensive overview of the field. Topical reviews written by foremost scientists explain the trends and latest advances in a clear and detailed way, focusing on the correlations between electronic structure and magnetic properties. By maintaining a balance between theory and experiment, the book provides a guide for both advanced students and specialists to this research area. It will help them evaluate their own experimental observations and serve as a basis for the design of new magnetic materials. A unique reference work, indispensable for everyone concerned with the phenomena of magnetism. ... Read more
