《微磁學(xué)中的弛豫過程(英文影印版)》講述了微磁學(xué)的相關(guān)概念。特別地,本書對(duì)弛豫過程中的一些現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行了深入探討。并且,本書對(duì)弛豫的理論分析也給與了詳細(xì)介紹。本書適合凝聚態(tài)物理、固體物理和材料物理領(lǐng)域的研究者參考。
弛豫過程是普遍存在與物理現(xiàn)象中的。在微磁學(xué)中,弛豫過程更是必須考慮的對(duì)象。國(guó)內(nèi)系統(tǒng)講述這方面理論的圖書非常罕見,《微磁學(xué)中的弛豫過程(英文影印版)》的引進(jìn)對(duì)國(guó)內(nèi)的相關(guān)研究人員會(huì)很有幫助。
