The Solid State Chemistry of Magnetic and Electric Materials
Dr. Billy Joe Evans
Professor at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Michigan
Fundamental
investigations of candidate materials for applications in magnetic and
electronic devices are inherently interdisciplinary, requiring team work
among investigators from different disciplines and requiring the individual
investigator to be conversant with concepts and methodologies in several
fields. Recent findings and progress in the solid state chemistry of magnetic
and electronic materials will be discussed with emphasis on the role of
mathematical models. For example, the convenience of rigorous mathematical
methods in calculating crystalline fields and understanding the colors
of certain classes of solids will be presented.
