Description

This course is devoted to the study of the properties of spin waves, or magnons, in magnetic insulators. The study is directed to simple systems in which the physical concepts can be understood without extensive calculations. Representative experimental results are presented and compared with the theoretical interpretation. The course is divided into six main sections, namely: 1. Spin waves; 2. Statistical and thermodynamic properties of magnons; 3. Magnon interactions; 4. Anti-ferromagnetic magnons; 5. Mixed excitations (magnetoelastic waves and nuclear magnons); 6. Magnons in disordered systems. (author)
