Abstract

We have given a detailed introduction to the quantum theory of metallic magnetism. Magnetism is a cooperative phenomenon, and its study requires various many-body techniques such as linear response theory, fluctuation-dissipation theorem and Green functions. Application of these techniques to magnetic susceptibility is given in the introductory chapters and appendices. As a reference point, we presented two important early models: the Stoner mean-field theory and RPA. The rest of the book is devoted to the dynamic spin fluctuation theory (DSFT).
