The Physical Principles of Magnetism

An IEEE Press Classic Reissue The Physical Principles of Magnetism "The Physical Principles of Magnetism…is such a classic—a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of magnetism…The corrected reissue is a welcome addition to this much-needed archival series. Dr. Morrish presents an excellent introduction to the physics and mathematics of magnetism without oversimplification… This respected and timeless classic book clearly elucidates these principles." Edward Della Torre The George Washington University President of the IEEE Magnetics Society The IEEE Press is pleased to reissue this essential book for understanding the basis of modern magnetic materials. Diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, ferromagnetism, and antiferromagnetism are covered in an integrated manner—unifying subject matter from physics, chemistry, metallurgy, and engineering. Magnetic phenomena are discussed both from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The underlying physical principles are presented first, followed by macroscopic or microscopic theories. Although quantum mechanical theories are given, a phenomenological approach is emphasized. More than half the book is devoted to a discussion of strongly coupled dipole systems, where the molecular field theory is emphasized. The Physical Principles of Magnetism is a classic "must read" for anyone working in the magnetics, electromagnetics, computing, and communications fields.
