Abstract
Nuclear magnetic moment is highly sensitive to the underlying structure of atomic nuclei and therefore serves as a stringent test of nuclear models. The advanced nuclear structure models have been successful in analyzing many nuclear structure properties, but they still cannot provide a satisfactory description of nuclear magnetic moments. Recently attempts to summarize the present understanding on nuclear magnetic moments in both relativistic and non-relativistic theoretical models have been made. The detailed contents are covered in the issue entitled “Nuclear magnetic moments and related topics” (in Sci China Phys Mech Astron, Vol. 54, No. 2, 2011). In this paper some of the related achievements will be highlighted.
