Magnetic materials are everywhere -- just consider hard disks in PCs and the rapid progress made in their capacities.

Combining the latest knowledge previously scattered and buried in meeting abstracts and proceedings, this is a much-needed and comprehensive overview of the key topics. In maintaining a balance between theory and experiment, the book guides both advanced students and specialists to this interdisciplinary and rapidly developing area of research.

Topical reviews written by the foremost scientists explain recent trends and advances, focusing on the correlations between electronic structure and magnetic properties. The book thus spans recent trends in magnetism for molecules -- as well as inorganic-based materials, with an emphasis on new phenomena being explored from both experimental and theoretical viewpoints with the aim of understanding magnetism on the atomic scale. As a result, readers are able to evaluate their own experimental observations and serves as a basis for the design of new magnetic materials.

Edited by renowned experts with exceptional standing in their field, this is a unique reference work, indispensable for everyone concerned with the phenomena of magnetism.

Topics covered include: Metallocenium Salts of Radical Anion Bis-(dichalcogenate) metalates Chiral Molecule-Based Magnets Cooperative Magnetic Behavior in Metal-Dicyanamide Complexes Lanthanide Ions in Molecular Exchange Coupled Systems Monte Carlo Simulation Metallocene-Based Magnets Magnetic Nanoporous Molecular Materials
