Free Download Haggai Erlich, "Greater Tigray and the Mysterious Magnetism of Ethiopia"
English | ISBN: 0197769330 | 2024 | 272 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This is an analytical history of the role Tigrinya-speakers have played and are still playing in the history of Ethiopia and Eritrea, from Tigray’s very ancient incipience to the origins of today’s tragically fratricidal war.

A History of Magnetism in Human Civilisation Magnetism on the Long Arc of Time


Free Download Indrajit G. Roy, "A History of Magnetism in Human Civilisation: Magnetism on the Long Arc of Time"
English | ISBN: 1527566080 | 2024 | 700 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Humans, over many millennia, have been intrigued with magnetism and continuously revealing its nature and association with other objects, both animate and inanimate. Started with reverence for its mystic power, the beautiful minds soon find the means to harness it. This book is an omnibus that helps one travel through time over many millennia until today while giving glimpses of human achievements in the Odyssey of human civilisation. This is a scientific essay. Nevertheless, it offers a range of flavours, such as the history of science, philosophy, social construct, the early scientific revolution, the impact of the Industrial Revolution, the growth of modern science, and discussion on scientific phenomena with no less scientific rigour, while remaining simple and intelligible. The book will be food for academic minds and a pleasant experience for general readers.

Electronic Structure and Magnetism of Complex Materials


Free Download Electronic Structure and Magnetism of Complex Materials by David J. Singh, Dimitrios A. Papaconstantopoulos
English | PDF | 2003 | 337 Pages | ISBN : 3540433821 | 33.1 MB
Recent developments in electronic structure theory have led to a new understanding of magnetic materials at the microscopic level. This enables a truly first-principles approach to investigations of technologically important magnetic materials. Among these advances have been practical schemes for handling non-collinear magnetic systems, including relativity, understanding of the origins and role of orbital magnetism within band structure formalisms, density functional approaches for magnons and low-lying spin excitations, understanding of the interplay of orbital, spin and lattice orderings in complex oxides, transport theories for layered systems, and the theory of magnetic interactions in doped semiconductors. The book covers these recent developments with review articles by some of the main originators of these advances.

Guide to Electricity and Magnetism


Free Download Guide to Electricity and Magnetism: Using Mathematica for Calculations and Visualizations
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032640855 | 232 Pages | PDF (True) | 8 MB
This is a "how to guide" for a calculus-based introductory course in electricity and magnetism. Students taking the subject at an intermediate or advanced level may also find it to be a useful reference. The calculations are performed in Mathematica, and stress graphical visualization, units, and numerical answers. The techniques show the student how to learn the physics without being hung up on the math. There is a continuing movement to introduce more advanced computational methods into lower-level physics courses. Mathematica is a unique tool in that code is written as "human readable" much like one writes a traditional equation on the board.

Methods in the Quantum Theory of Magnetism


Free Download Methods in the Quantum Theory of Magnetism by Sergei Vladimirovich Tyablikov
English | PDF | 1967 | 361 Pages | ISBN : 1489970916 | 23.3 MB
Magnetic properties are exhibited to a greater or lesser ex- tent by all substances. Among solids, we can distinguish a group of magnetic substances whose magnetic properties are particular- ly pronounced: ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, and antiferromag- nets. The present treatment deals with some of the problems aris- ing in the theory of the magnetic phenomena in such substances. We shall call the theory of phenomena in strongly magnetic sub- stances the theory of strong magnetism or, simply, the theory of magnetism, because the weakly magnetic substances (paramagnets and diamagnets) will not be considered. The emphasis is on the methods giving general solutions and on the features character- istic of magnetic problems. The microscopic approach is used throughout.
