Magnetism and the Electronic Structure of Crystals

This book describes current ab initio band and cluster approaches in the study of magnetic properties of crystals. In contrast to phenomenological models, such methods enable particular features of electronic structure and chemical bonding to be taken into account. In addition to considering magnetic interactions in transition metals, alloys and compounds on the basis of electronic structure calculations, this book analyses the relationship between magnetic characteristics and chemicalbonding for crystals with itinerant and localized magnetic electrons. Recentprogress in the magnetic theory of solids is reviewed and illustrated for systems with various types of magnetic ordering. The large number of diagrams and tables provide the reader with a comprehensive picture of the possibilities of contemporary computational methods in the theory of magnetism.
