SUMMARY

Magnetization is defined as the magnetic dipole moment per unit volume, with spin magnetic moments playing a crucial role in the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials. Spin waves, or magnons, are responsible for fluctuations in the total magnetization of these materials. For a deeper understanding of magnetization in the context of magnons, several key resources are recommended, including "Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials" by David Jiles and "Spin Waves: Theory and Applications" by Helmut Schultheiss and Burkard Hillebrands.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetization concepts in ferromagnetic materials
  • Familiarity with spin magnetic moments and their contributions
  • Basic knowledge of spin waves (magnons) and their effects
  • Awareness of magnetic dipole moments and their measurement
NEXT STEPS
  • Study "Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials" by David Jiles

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.
