Abstract

Magnetism is a major area in fundamental and applied research, a subject of main concern in human knowledge since the antiquity, which remains, even nowadays, quite elusive. The principal sources of magnetism in atoms, clusters and solids are the currents associated to the electronic motion (orbital magnetism) and the intrinsic angular momentum of the electrons (spin magnetism). These properties are of quantum mechanical nature and cannot be regarded as the superposition of independent individual-electron contributions. They result from the behavior of the ensemble of electrons in the relevant low-energy scale (valence electrons). Consequently, the magnetic properties of matter are very sensitive to the details of the electronic correlations and to temperature.
