Overview

"Magnetism encompasses a wide range of systems and physical phenomena, and its study has posed and exposed both fundamental problems and practical applications. Recently, several entirely new phenomena have thus been discovered, generated through cooperative behaviour which could not have been predicted from a knowledge of ""one-spin"" states. At the same time, advances in sample preparation, experimental technique, apparatus and radiation sources, have led to increasing precision in the investigation and exposure of greater subtleties in magnetic thin films, multilayers and other systems. Examples of unexpected and conceptually new phenomena occur in strongly correlated and fluctuating quantum systems, producing effects such as Haldane and spin-Peierls gaps, solitons, quantum spin glasses and spin liquids. The discovery and elucidation of these ""emerging properties"" is a central theme in modern condensed matter physics. This text comprises a series of chapters by world experts, covering both theoretical and experimental aspects."
