Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Magnetism is a venerable subject related to electric and thermal properties of materials. This lecture offers an introduction to magnetism of alloys and compounds. Two approaches from localized picture and itinerant picture will be reviewed for understanding strongly correlated electron systems. The basis for applications to permanent magnets can be understood. |
