What it is about
In this module you will learn the fundamental properties of magnetic materials, from atomic dia- and paramagnetism to the macroscopic magnetic order in solids. After completing the module you will be able to analyse the temperature dependence of magnetic phases, explain micromagnetic phenomena such as domains and domain walls, as well as classify magnetoresistive effects and some experimental methods.
What you will be able to do
- Evaluate the response of a magnetic material in a magnetic field
- Determine magnetic properties of isolated atoms and ions
- Understand the influence of crystal field on ions and atoms
- Determine magnetic properties (quasi) of free charge carriers in solids
- Understand different coupling mechanisms between magnetic moments
- Understand magnetic order and phase transitions
- Analyze experimental data with respect to magnetic properties
