Quantum Theory Of Magnetism, The

This volume is intended as a basic text for a two-term graduate course for physicists, engineers and chemists with a background in quantum and statistical mechanics. It uses Green's function techniques extensively and discusses the application of the mean-field approximation and dipole-dipole interactions in one, two and three dimensions. A chapter each has been devoted to low-dimensional systems, surface magnetism and layered systems. A total of 60 exercises have also been included.
