Abstract

This chapter gives a brief introduction to magnetism of metals and is designed in such a way as to make the book self-contained. We begin with basic topics and elements of the phenomenological theory.

In nearly every theory there exist steps that are omitted in the theoretical papers and not treated in the textbooks. These steps are obviously designed to keep the experimental physicists in their place. (H. Frauenfelder, The Mössbauer Effect, Benjamin, New York, 1962)

Notes

  1. 1.

    The factor 1∕2 in the definition of χ ± is introduced for consistency with further notation.

  2. 2.

    This equation is sometimes called the Liouville , or von Neumann equation (see, e.g. [5]).

  3. 3.

    This is also called Kubo formula for the magnetic susceptibility (see, e.g. [5]).
