 Eugene
Chudnovsky is a
Distinguished Professor of Physics at the City
University of New York. He was educated in
Russia and spent one year at Tufts University
before coming to New York in 1988. Dr.
Chudnovsky is best known for his theory of
amorphous magnets and his theory of quantum
tunneling of the magnetic moment. He has
published over 150 research papers and has given
numerous invited and plenary talks at scientific
meetings. |
 Dr.
Javier Tejada is a
Professor of Condensed Matter Physics and the
head of the UBXLAB at the University of
Barcelona where he directs experimental research
in the field of nanomagnetism. He has published
over 250 research papers and holds 12
international patents. Dr. Tejada is best known
for his experimental work on spin tunneling and
molecular magnetism. He has co-authored a book
with E. Chudnovsky on “Quantum Tunneling of the
Magnetic Moment” (Cambridge University Press,
1998). |
This
is a supplement to the textbook “Lectures on Magnetism
with 128 Problems” by Tejada and Chudnovsky (Rinton
Press – 2006), which contains solutions to the problems.
In most cases, in order to understand the problem, the
reader must consult the original textbook. The latter is
designed as a compact one-semester course that covers
basic topics in magnetism at the graduate and
upper-level undergraduate level. The textbook and the
problems provide the background needed for
specialization and research in magnetism.
