Magnetism: Fundamentals, Materials and Applications

This book deals with the basic phenomena that govern the magnetic properties of matter, with magnetic materials and with the applications of magnetism in science, technology and medicine.
It is the collective work of twenty-one scientists, most of them from Laboratoire Louis Neel du CNRS in Grenoble, France. The original version, in French, was edited by Etienne du Trémolet de Lacheisserie, and published in 1999. The present version involves, beyond the translation, many corrections and complements.
