A Concise Introduction to Nanomagnetism

This book is about the basics of nanomagnetism, i.e., properties of magnetic systems specific to small sizes and/or low dimensions. Features described range from static properties (the existence and understanding of magnetic domains and domain walls) to magnetization reversal in domains or domain-wall motion (from quasistatic to precessional dynamics of magnetization) and spintronics (basic magnetoresistance effects and reverse spin transfer torques, their origin, and consequence on magnetization).

Setting the ground for nanomagnetism. Magnetism and magnetic domains in low dimensions. Magnetization reversal. Precessional dynamics of magnetization. Spintronics and beyond.
