Abstract

Addressing graduate students and researchers, this book gives a very detailed theoretical and computational description of multiple scattering in solid matter. Particular emphasis is placed on solids with reduced dimensions, on full potential approaches and on relativistic treatments. For the first time approaches such as the Screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method that have emerged during the last 5 – 10 years are reviewed, considering all formal steps such as single-site scattering, structure constants and screening transformations, and also the numerical point of view. Furthermore, a very general approach is presented for solving the Poisson equation, needed within density functional theory in order to achieve self-consistency. Going beyond ordered matter and translationally invariant systems, special chapters are devoted to the Coherent Potential Approximation and to the Embedded Cluster Method, used, for example, for describing nanostructured matter in real space. In a final chapter, physical properties related to the (single-particle) Green’s function, such as magnetic anisotropies, interlayer exchange coupling, electric and magneto-optical transport and spin-waves, serve to illustrate the usefulness of the methods described.

Abstract

MODERN TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZING MAGNETIC MATERIALS provides an extensive overview of novel characterization tools for magnetic materials including neutron, photon and electron scatterings and other microscopy techniques by world renowned scientists. This is an interdisciplinary book. Currently there is no existing book that describes all available techniques to characterize and to understand magnetic materials. These techniques cover a wide range of length scales and belong to different scientific communities that have little cross-discipline communication. The book will build bridges for them. It is important to note that each technique has its own advantages and drawbacks. Very often combined use of different techniques is essential to the understanding of the ever increasing complexity of modern magnetic materials at nanometer scales. The book includes, but is not limited to the following areas: Magnetic neutron scattering with 3-axis spectrometer * Small-angle neutrons scattering * Polarized neutron magnetic reflectometry * Resonant soft x-ray magneto-optic scattering * Magnetic hard x-ray scattering * Spin resolved photoemission spectroscopy * Lorentz microscopy and electron holography * Scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis * Spin polarized low energy electron microscopy * Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy * Magnetic force microscopy * Near-field scanning optical microscopy * Time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy * Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy This reference will be a valuable resource for all graduate students, researchers, engineers and scientists who are interested in magnetic materials including their crystal structure, electronic structure, magnetization dynamics and their associated magnetic properties and underlying magnetism.
