A PARADIGM CALLED MAGNETISM
by Sushanta Dattagupta (Indian Institute of Science Education & Research, India)
This book provides an overview of how diverse issues of Magnetism have implications for other areas of physics. Attention will be drawn to different aspects of many-body physics, which first appeared in Magnetism but have had deep impact in various areas of physics. Each of these aspects will be illustrated schematically and in terms of physical examples, chosen from multicritical phenomena, quantum phase transition, spin glasses, relaxation, phase ordering and quantum dissipation. A unique feature of this book is a unified and coherent discussion of magnetic phenomena, presented in a lucid and pedagogical manner.
Contents:
- Symmetry Breaking
- Critical Phenomena and Scaling
- Multicritical
Points
- Quantum Criticality
- Frustration
- Disorder
- Relaxation
- Quantum Dissipation
- Coherence and Decoherence
Readership: Graduate and postgraduate students and researchers in condensed
matter physics; practitioners in experimental and theoretical aspects of magnetism.
