be Magnetic

Many technological applications exploit a variety of magnetic structures, or magnetic phases, to produce and optimise solid-state functionality. However, most research advances are restricted to a reduced number of phases owing to computational and resource constraints. This thesis presents an ab-initio theory to efficiently describe complex magnetic phases and their temperature-dependent properties.

The Magnetic Fields' "50 Song Memoir" is the five-disc set chronicles the 50 years of songwriter Stephin Merritt's life with one song per year. On this release, in addition to his vocals on all 50 songs, Merritt plays more than 100 instruments, ranging from ukulele to piano to drum machine to abacus. The album was ranked on MetaCritic-com under the number 5 in "Best Album of 2017", and # 60 in "Most Discussed Album of 2017".

This book provides a comprehensive overview of magnetic levitation (Maglev) technologies, from fundamental principles through to the state-of-the-art, and describes applications both realised and under development.

The first edition of this book was written in 1961 when I was Morris Loeb Lecturer in Physics at Harvard. In the preface I wrote: "The problem faced by a beginner today is enormous. If he attempts to read a current article, he often finds that the first paragraph refers to an earlier paper on which the whole article is based, and with which the author naturally assumes familiarity. That reference in turn is based on another, so the hapless student finds himself in a seemingly endless retreat. I have felt that graduate students or others beginning research in magnetic resonance needed a book which really went into the details of calculations, yet was aimed at the beginner rather than the expert. " The original goal was to treat only those topics that are essential to an understanding of the literature. Thus the goal was to be selective rather than comprehensive. With the passage of time, important new concepts were becoming so all-pervasive that I felt the need to add them. That led to the second edition, which Dr. Lotsch, Physics Editor of Springer-Verlag, encouraged me to write and which helped launch the Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences. Now, ten years later, that book (and its 1980 revised printing) is no longer available. Meanwhile, workers in magnetic resonance have continued to develop startling new insights.

This book presents some of the most exciting developments in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) : for example, new developments in NMR instrumentation, new magnet technology, RF coil design, the design of novel NMR sensors, and new developments of methods in solution and solid-state NMR. These range from new methods for the fast acquisition of 2D spectrum to NMR studies of molecular interactions in ionic solutions. The book will be a useful reference for practitioners in the field and at the same time will appeal to a broad audience interested in the general area of NMR.
