Which Book Best Explains Magnetism in Materials?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion identifies key resources for understanding magnetic properties in materials, particularly for those with a background in Electromagnetism (E&M). Recommended texts include "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. Additionally, Ashcroft and Mermin's work is noted for its reasonable coverage of magnetism, though it is less detailed than the suggested alternatives.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electromagnetism (E&M)
  • Familiarity with magnetic properties in materials
  • Basic knowledge of physics literature and terminology
  • Ability to access and evaluate academic texts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Science for Everyone – Nature of Magnetism" by M. I. Kaganov and V. M. Tsukernik
  • Explore "Three Thousand Years of Magnets" by V. P. Kartsev
  • Investigate "Magnetism of Elementary Particles" by S. V. Vonsovsky
  • Review Ashcroft and Mermin's coverage of magnetism in their physics textbook
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, materials science researchers, and educators seeking comprehensive resources on magnetism in materials.

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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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:
