SUMMARY

The discussion centers around identifying a theory related to magnetism, specifically focusing on how two sources can shield and influence magnetic fields. The suggested theories include Lentz' Law and the Kondo effect, with the latter being described in detail. The Kondo effect involves localized moments and itinerant moments, where conduction electrons cluster around local moments, leading to a significant reduction in magnetization and affecting the overall magnetic field. This explanation provides clarity on the mechanisms of magnetic shielding and interaction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic magnetism concepts
  • Familiarity with Lentz' Law
  • Knowledge of the Kondo effect in solid-state physics
  • Basic principles of electron behavior in materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Lentz' Law and its applications in magnetism
  • Study the Kondo effect and its implications in condensed matter physics
  • Explore the concept of magnetic shielding and its practical applications
  • Investigate the behavior of localized and itinerant electrons in magnetic materials
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of condensed matter physics, and anyone interested in the principles of magnetism and electron interactions in materials.

Can you help me
I don't remember a theory
The name was something like
Theory ok kamp (Kemp? )
Something like this
This theory is about magnetism, more precisely about how two sources shield and influence the field)
Do you know the name thank Jacky

Thank you

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Maybe you are thinking of Lentz' Law? Have a look at the Wikipedia page to see if any of that information helps to jog your memory...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism
 
Could you provide a bit more detail? What do you mean by two sources, and what generates the field? The closest match that comes to mind is the Kondo effect (starts with K) and has two 'sources' in the form of localized moments (electrons bound to specific atoms) and itinerant moments (conduction electrons moving freely through the lattice). There is a shielding process that takes place in the form of Kondo screening whereby conduction electrons cluster around a local moment in a quasi-bound state with their spins aligned opposite that of the local moment. This shielding results in a macroscopic drop in magnetization and, as a result, 'influences' the field generated by the material. Not sure if this is what you were referring to, but absent any additional information it is the best I guess I can provide.
