Which Book Best Explains Magnetism in Materials?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking comprehensive resources on magnetic properties in materials, several recommendations emerged in the discussion. While Purcell's E&M textbook provides a brief overview, Ashcroft and Mermin's work offers a more substantial section on magnetism. For deeper exploration, specific titles were highlighted, including "Science for Everyone – Nature of Magnetism" by M. I. Kaganov and V. M. Tsukernik, "Three Thousand Years of Magnets" by V. P. Kartsev, and "Magnetism of Elementary Particles" by S. V. Vonsovsky. These texts are noted for their accessibility and lack of copyright restrictions, making them freely available for readers interested in the subject. Sample pages from some of these works can also be found online, providing a preview of their content.

I am looking for a good book that covers magnetic properties in materials. I've taken E&M (we used Purcell), and it only covered magnetism in materials briefly.

Ashcroft and Mermin has a reasonable section on magnetism. If you are looking for something more detailed, then these are pretty good:

You can look at a few sample pages here:

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
