Magnetism and Magnetic Materials

Course title

M0169000

Course description

This lecture introduces the fundamental understanding of magnetism presenting the different appearances of magnetism (diamagnetism, paramagnetism, superparamagnetism, ferro-, antiferro-, ferrimagnetism) and the physical origins, the formation of magnetic domains. Furthermore, it introduces the origin of superconductivity and its response to the magnetic field. The experimental techniques to observe magnetism and superconductivity will be explained. Therefore, it will include the brief history of superconductivity from the milestone of low-temperature technique in the discovery of superconductivity to the recent topic of superconductivity.
This course is in the gPBL Project "Joint Lecture in Superconductivity and Magnetism for Japanese, International, and Indonesian Young Prospective Researchers". The SIT students (including international exchange-students) will be taught by additional International lecturers. And, several students from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Indonesia will officially join into this course. The first to seventh week of the class is planned to be conducted as COIL Program.

Purpose of class

To learn the classification of various magnetic materials and the physical origins, and to understand the concept of magnetic domains. To learn the characteristic or physical parameter describing magnetic and superconducting state. The students will be provided with a profound knowledge of the various types of magnetism, the basic concepts of magnetic domain, and the various characteristic parameter to describe a magnetic material.
