The first part of this state-of-the-art book conveys the fundamentals of magnetism for atoms and bulk-like solid-state systems, providing a basis for understanding new phenomena which exclusively occur in low-dimensional systems as the giant magneto resistance. This wide field is discussed in the second part. Suitable for graduate students in physical and materials sciences, the book includes numerous examples, exercises, and references.

Magnetochemistry is a highly interdisciplinary field that attracts the interest of chemists, physicists and material scientists. Although the general strategy of theoretical molecular magnetism has been in place for decades, its performance for extended systems of interacting magnetic units can be very complicated. Professor Boca's book treats the "mosaic" of the theoretical approaches currently used in the field. This book presents a review of the theoretical concepts of molecular magnetism. The first chapter of the book recapitulates the necessary mathematical background. An overview of macroscopic magnetic properties is then presented. Formulation of magnetic parameters and methods of their calculation are given, followed by a brief summary of magnetic behaviour. The core of the book deals with the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility for mononuclear complexes, dimers, and exchange-coupled clusters.This book will be particularly useful for those scientists and students working in the field of molecular magnetism who need to refer to a complete and systematic treatment of the mathematics of magneto-chemical theory.

IIT JEE Main and Advanced test the conceptual knowledge of aspirants by asking real-life application based problems on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Keeping this in mind, we have been publishing our best-selling series of books exclusively on different topics of all three subjects to enable aspirants for advanced ability to tackle any type of questions asked from them. "Understanding Physics" is one of those best-selling series written by renowned author, D.C. Pandey which carries five fully comprehensive textbooks presenting 36 essential chapters of Physics. The fourth book on Electricity and Magnetism has been revised thoroughly to reinforce the foundation of Electricity and Magnetism simply and coherently with 6 scoring chapters promoting in-depth discussions on each theory. The focused study material for concept building along with applications for solidifying the problem-solving skills given in this book are highly advantageous. It also provides the last 6 years’ questions of JEE Main and Advanced to know the trend and patterns of questions. Enclosed with well-organized and premier set of study material to develop the substantial knowledge of Physics required for acing IIT JEE Main and Advanced, this book is the absolute best in terms of both quality and quantity.

During August 24-27, 1993, approximately 60 scientists from the Americas, Europe and Japan, gathered in the city of Guanajuato, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, at the II Latin American Workshop on Magnetism, Magnetic Materials and their Applications. The group of scientists converging into the beautiful city of Guanajuato had come from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, several places in Mexico, U. S. A. , Japan, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark. The event attested to the success of the previous Workshop on Magnetism, Magnetic Materials and their Applications, held in Havana, Cuba, in 1991, as well as to the interest, level of activity and quality of the work being carried out in Latin America in the area of magnetism and magnetic materials. Equally important to everyone present was the fact that we had come to honor a friend, Professor L. M. Falicov, on his sixtieth birthday. The choice of a Latin American Workshop on magnetism as a Festschrift for Leo Falicov was, in our opinion, quite appropriate not only because of Leo's strong ties to Latin America, but also because of his superb contributions to science, and in particular, to magnetism. Professor Falicov was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he spent a good part of his formative years.

Volume 15 of the Handbook on the Properties of Magnetic Materials, as the preceding volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to be of assistance to those who wish to be introduced to a given topic in the field of magnetism without the need to read the vast amount of literature published. As a work of reference it is intended for scientists active in magnetism research. To this dual purpose, Volume 15 of the Handbook is composed of topical review articles written by leading authorities. In each of these articles an extensive description is given in graphical as well as in tabular form, much emphasis being placed on the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and material science. It provides the readership with novel trends and achievements in magnetism.

"This 1953 classic text for advanced undergraduates has been used by generations of physics majors. Requiring only some background in general physics and calculus, it offers in-depth coverage of the field and features problems at the end of each chapter -- solutions are available for download at the Dover website"--
