Editorial Reviews
Review
"Written for undergraduates who have knowledge of basic quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and some atomic physics, this clearly organized text introduces magnetism in condensed matter systems. The chapters are laid out with tables, annotation, and some of the figures incorporated into the wide outside margins. Lists of reading and exercises conclude each chapter but the last, which is devoted to new topics and unanswered problems in the field."--SciTech Book News

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of magnetism,
By physics student (Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magnetism in Condensed Matter (Oxford Master Series in Physics) (Paperback)
This book is an easy to read overview of the subject. It's a good book to review the fundamentals (para/dia/ferro/anti magnetism,exchange interaction, etc.). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the price is a bit high, and sometimes the treatments lacks depth.
5.0 out of 5 stars
good book,
This review is from: Magnetism in Condensed Matter (Oxford Master Series in Physics) (Paperback)
This is a great book, it combines classical and quantum approaches side by side making it a comprehensive and accessible read.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Magnetism in Condensed Matter (Oxford Master Series in Physics) (Paperback)
This is a very nice book for someone new to the field, or for someone who wants to get a broad overview of some of the newer topics in magnetism. I do wish it had more of an emphasis on statistical mechanics though, since that's absolutely critical for really understanding magnetic behavior.
