Language(s) of instruction :
|
| English language |
|
Course contents :
|
| Study of magnetism in condensed matter. Review of magnetic concepts, units. Review of basic quantum mechanics concepts, spin and orbital moment. Magnetic interactions. Measurement techniques. Ordered magnetic structures. Low dimension magnetism. |
