History of magnetism • the names magnetism, magnets etc. go back to ancient Greeks: magnetite = loadstone (Fe 3 O 4 ) • The magnetism of magnetite was also known in ancient China - spoon-shaped compass 2000 years ago - long time used for geomancy - open-see navigation since 1100

European traditions in magnetism • A. Neckham (1190): describes the compass • P. Peregrinus (1269): Epistola Petri Peregrini … de Magnete - terrella, poles • E.W. Gilbert (1544 – 1603) • R. Descartes (1569 – 1650) divorced physics from metaphysics de Magnete

Modern developments in the 19th century H.C. Oersted (1777-1851) A.M. Ampère (1755-1836) M. Faraday (1791-1867) • electric currents are magnets • ∇ x H = j • magnetic field & • molecular currents • ∇ x E = - B J.C. Maxwell (1831-1871) H.A. Lorentz (1853-1928) = e + • unification of light, electricity, magnetism • v E v x B ( ) m & & • j → j + ε 0 • Lorentz transformation E • prediction of radio waves

The revolutionary 20th century P. Curie (1859-1906) P. Weiss • the molecular field • paramagnetism and ferromagnetism • domains N. Bohr, W. Heisenberg, W. Pauli P. Dirac • quantum theory • relativistic quantum theory • the need of spin • explains the spin → exchange interaction ←

Levitation of a diamagnetic body levitated glass cube melted by a laser beam • µ 0 H ≈ 23 Tesla • F ∼ χ ·H·(dH/dz) • stable only for χ < 0 M. Kitamura et al., Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 39 (2000) L324

Stable position of a superconducting permanent magnet Levitation Suspension Cross stiffness YBCO NdFeB • by varying the spatial distribution of the external field the position of the superconducting magnet may have different degrees of freedom : 0 D – as in the examples above 1 D – as a train on a rail • the same holds for rotational degrees of freedom

2-4 Magnetization in thermodynamics problems: (i) thermodynamically metastable states (ii) the field generated by the samples own magnetization (iii) how to define a correct expression for magnetic work • Quantum statistical thermodynamics with the Hamiltonian H ∫ τ < > = δ − µ = δ − µ m H M H d H Q d Q d d 0 0 V • alternative definition of internal energy U = < H > + µ 0 Hm (a Legendre transformation) ∫ τ = δ + µ = δ + µ H m H M dU Q d Q d d ⇒ 0 0 V ⇒ both expressions are correct: work done on different systems ! (iv) magnetostatic interaction is long range

2-5 Localized vs. itinerant electron magnetism in solids • isolated atoms or ions with incompletely filled electron shells • magnetization: M ∼ B J (H/T) ⇒ Curie 's law M = χ H χ = C/T with • Two main types of solids – large electron density ⇒ delocalized (itinerant) electrons – e.g. in Li- or Na-metal ⇒ Hund's rule magnetic moment disappears ⇒ a small, (nearly) temperature independent susceptibility – small electron densities ⇒ strongly correlated electrons ⇒ they can be localized and carry a magnetic moment ⇒ examples: MnO, FeO, CoO, CuO (antiferromagnets); EuO, CrCl 3 (ferromagnets ) • In 4f materials localized and itinerant electrons coexist
