Volume 9 of the "Handbook of Magnetic Materials" has a dual
purpose, as do the preceding volumes in the series. As a textbook
it is intended to be of assistance to those who wish to be
introduced to a given topic in the field of magnetism without the
need to read the vast amount of literature published. As a work of
reference it is intended for scientists active in magnetism
research. To this dual purpose, Volume 9 of the Handbook is
composed of topical review articles written by leading authorities.
In each of these articles an extensive description is given in
graphical as well as in tabular form, much emphasis being placed on
the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of
physics, chemistry and material science.
Chapter one presents a general account of the magnetism of
heavy-fermion systems. Two novel experimental techniques are
described in chapters two and five. Chapter two deals with muon
spin rotation and chapter five gives an account of the
possibilities offered by photon beam spectroscopy. In both chapters
it is shown how these sophisticated experimental methods can be
used to obtain experimental information not easily obtainable by
conventional experimental methods. Chapter three deals with
interstitially modified intermetallic compounds of rare earth and
3d elements. Finally chapter four is concerned with thermodynamic
approach to phase transitions and shows how the understanding and
description of these magnetic phase transitions can be considerably
enriched.
