| General course objectives:
| The aim of the course is to give the student a broad knowledge of magnetism and magnetic materials and related experimental techniques. |
| Learning objectives: | | A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: | - Describe why materials have magnetic moments
- Describe why and how magnetic moments in materials interact
- Calculate the magnetic response of a magnetic material to an external magnetic field
- Describe and visualize the different types of magnetically ordered structures (ferro-, antiferro-, and ferrimagnets)
- Calculate the magnetic phase transition temperature in the mean field model
- Derive an expression for magnetic excitations (spin waves)
- Explain formation of magnetic domains and single-domain properties
- Explain the particular magnetic properties of nanoparticles and low-dimensional systems
- Describe the principles in a series of magnetic measurement techniques: magnetization measurements, magnetic spin resonance techniques (including NMR), Mössbauer spectroscopy, neutron scattering, magnetic force microscopy, electron holography
| Content:
