Popis: The first chapter was devoted to the solid-state medium (i.e. its crystal structure and binding). The next two chapters concerned the two most important types of energy excitations in a solid (the electronic excitations and the phonons). Magnons are another important type of energy excitation and they occur in magnetically ordered solids. However, it is not possible to discuss magnons without laying some groundwork for them by discussing the more elementary parts of magnetic phenomena. Also, there are many magnetic properties that cannot be discussed by using the concept of magnons. In fact, the study of magnetism is probably the first solid-state property that was seriously studied, relating as it does to lodestone and compass needles.
