Introduction to the Theory of Ferromagnetism [Paperback]

The emphasis of this second edition is on introducing the foundations of the different subfields, highlighting the direction and tendency of the most recent research. New to this edition is updated material on the nucleation problem and numerical micromagnetics. This book is suitable for first-year graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics and engineering as well as for practicing engineers and experimental physicists who work in the field of magnetism and need an excellent reference book.
