Magnetism in Condensed Matter

• Solutions manual available on request from the publisher's website.
• Superb text in the new Oxford Master Series in Condensed Matter Physics
• Unique in covering fundamental principles, experimental techniques and technological applications.
• Key points highlighted throughout
• Includes tutorial material- illustrations, examples and problem sets
• Detailed appendices to aid understanding
• Lucid exposition of the key physical concepts and ideas

Readership: Final year undergraduate (US: first year graduate) students in physics and materials science.

Stephen Blundell, Department of Physics, University of Oxford

"I can warmly recommend this book to anyone considering giving a course on magnetism and for those students of condensed matter physics, who have no access to such a course ... it is also very useful and enjoyable reading for those who have been working in magnetism for some time and have felt the lack of a systematic review of the subject." - Contemporary Physics

"... the reader or student obtains a very thorough and systematic background in which to place the large variety of subject matter." - Contemporary Physics
