Abstract

Magnetism has fascinated and served humanity for
\nalmost 3000 years. Since the discovery of the lodestone
\n(FeO-Fe_2O_3), many different magnetic materials
\nhave been developed, almost all based on transition
\nmetals and/or rare-earth elements. Technological application
\nof magnetism also has a long history, from the compass to today's sophisticated magnetic memory systems. In contrast, the theory of magnetism has progressed more slowly, despite the efforts of great minds throughout history. The reason early theoretical models were not very valuable is now clear. Any viable theory of magnetism must be based on two inherently quantum mechanical concepts: electron spin and the Pauli exclusion principle. As such, only the 20th century has produced a competent model for magnetism,
\nand that model continues to evolve. Studies over the
\nlast 20 years have revealed a bewildering array of new
\nmagnetic phenomena that continue to challenge our
\nunderstanding of solid-state physics.
