Full Description
Authored by a perfect interdisciplinary team of top scientists,
this textbook teaches the fundamentals of molecular magnetism while
showing how to apply these concepts with the aid of computer
programs. The book and the accompanying software enable readers to
acquire and translate magnetic data for molecular magnetic
materials into chemically meaningful information.
The up-to-date software can be downloaded from the authors'
website.
Both a teaching and research tool for advanced masters and PhD
students, lecturers and researchers new to the field.
