SUMMARY

The discussion centers around finding a suitable book for understanding the magnetocaloric effect and the relationship between magnetism and entropy. The user, a third-year bachelor student, has already studied thermodynamics through Schroder's book but seeks a more focused resource on magnetism. Recommendations include "Landau Lifshitz," which is noted for its comprehensive coverage of magnetism and is available for free in PDF format.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of thermodynamics principles
  • Familiarity with the concept of the magnetocaloric effect
  • Interest in quantum mechanics (optional for deeper understanding)
  • Access to academic resources for free PDF downloads
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Landau Lifshitz: Statistical Physics" for insights on magnetism
  • Explore online resources about the magnetocaloric effect
  • Study introductory quantum mechanics to enhance understanding of magnetism
  • Look for additional textbooks specifically focused on magnetism and entropy
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in physics, researchers interested in magnetism, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the magnetocaloric effect and its thermodynamic implications.

I'm looking for a book to help me understand a project I'm working on measuring the magnetocaloric effect. I'd like to understand a bit more about the link between magnetism and entropy. I'm a third year bachelor student so I've studied no quantum mechanics (yet), but I'm not against doing so if it helps.

I've got schroders book introduction to thermodynamics, which is very good but I want something specifically about magnetism.

Thanks.
