Springer
<P>In the last decade a tremendous progress has taken place in understanding the basis of magnetism, especially in reduced dimensions. </P>  <P>In the first part, the fundamentals of magnetism are conveyed for atoms and bulk-like solid-state systems providing a basis for the understanding of new phenomena which exclusively occur in low-dimensional systems as the giant magneto resistance. This wide field is discussed in the second part and illustrated by copious examples. </P>  <P>This textbook is particularly suitable for graduate students in physical and materials sciences. It includes numerous examples, exercises, and references.</P>
