PHYS 526B Solid State Physics III
PHYS 526. SOLID STATE PHYSICS III (Credit, 3 hours; Lecture and Laboratory). Characterization of Magnetic Materials. Magnetic ordering and models of magnetic systems: paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, diamagnetism, antiferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism and spin-glass; laboratory techniques: magnetization measurements using a SQUID magnetometer, and electron transport (current-voltage) measurements; determination of important parameters, which are related to the various kinds of magnetic ordering, from laboratory data. This course is intended for graduate students who have completed a first course in solid state physics. (Pre-requisites: PHYS 472 or PHYS 505, or
equivalents)
