Magnetismus

What it is about

You will be introduced to the various manifestations of magnetism — from isolated atoms to correlated electron systems — as well as methods for its detection. At the end of the module you will be able to explain connections between magnetization, magnetic field and induction, assess magnetic material properties, and classify fundamental magnetic ordering phenomena and phase transitions.

What you will be able to do

• Assess connections between magnetic field and material properties
• Assess magnetic properties of isolated ions and atoms
• Understand the influence of crystal structure on magnetic ions
• Analyze magnetic properties of free electrons in the solid state
• Understand different coupling mechanisms between magnetic moments
• Understand magnetic ordering structures and phase transitions
• Name experimental detection methods of magnetic phenomena
