Homework Statement
There is a question on effect of magnons on magnetization M of a ferromagnet material

How magnons affect magnetization in a ferromagnet -
(A) increase magnetization
(B) decrease magnetization
(C) Stabilize the magnetization
(D) Cause critical magnetic fluctuation
Relevant Equations
Magnons in ferromagnets are spin waves.
As per my understanding, magnetization is magnetic dipole moment per unit volume and spin magnetic moment contributes to magnetization of the ferromagnetic material under consideration.

Magnons, aka Spin Waves, according to this understanding will fluctuate the total magnetization of the materialz is it correct ?

More generally speaking, I would be very thankful if someone can point out/suggest detailed topic or resource recommendation for study of magnetization during magnons.

Thank you.

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
