Abstract
In this lecture,1
I will give a brief introduction on a quantum mechanical view on mag-netism in real materials, especially, consisting of transition metal elements and their com-
pounds, and the physical principles for the applications of magnetic materials as magnetic
sensors and memory devices. Further, I will discuss the connection between magnetism
and superconductivity in highTc superconductors as an example.

1. What is all about condensed matter physics?
... How do we understand the physical properties of single particle systems in a classicalor quantum sense? In other words,what do we measure or observe?
O
x
p
?
... In classical dynamics, the state of a single particle is determined by the observables {x(t),p(t)}. It canbe extended to the system with many particles where the state of the system is described by the set of
observables {xi(t),pi(t)|i= 1, 2,...,N}. However, whenN 1025, it is practically impossible to tracethe orbits of all, even the part of, the particles. Here it is the point where the statistical physics comes into
playing a role. Instead of following each individual particles, we measure a quantity by an (ensemble or
time) average of the given quantities adopted in classical dynamics. In addition, now we have to deal withnew observables such as entropy, temperature, ....
The same thing applies for the case of quantum systems. The only difference is the dynamics state of the
quantum system is determined by a state vector |(x, t) for a single particle and |(x1,x2, ...,xN, t).

1.3. How do we approach the condensed matter system in order to understand
the physics of ablack box?
Experimental Methods:By disturbing the black box by phtons, phonons, electrons, and/or neutrons, try to get ahint on elementary excitations in the system.
Theoretical Methods:By guessing possible elementary excitations and working out the QM equation of mo-tions, see if we can predict the physics of the system. If wrong, correct the model forthe elementary excitations for the better description.
How to disturb the black box?

Localized State
Since the rotational symmetry is preserved, it has the quantum eigenstates |jm:
J2|jm =j(j+ 1)|jm
whereJ = L + S
If the spherical symmetry is broken, e.g., inside a lattice, the orbital moment can bequenched due to the lack of rotational symmetry, i.e.,
L = 0

Question:
Let us consider the transition-metal fluoride MnF2, which is observed to be antiferromag-
netic at low temperatures. In this system, the fluorine F becomes F
being fully ionized sothat the manganese Mn becomes Mn2+.
(a) Based on the Hunds rule, discuss the possible spin and orbital configuration of Mn2+
ions. (Note that Mn2+ has a 3d5 configuration.)
(b) Considering that the Mn ions of MnF2form a bcc lattice, guess the magnetic configurationof the ground state of MnF2.
(c) What difference would it make if we replace F ions by O2 ions, that is, the ground stateof MnO2? (Hint: Consider the crystal field effect in a cubic lattice.)
Now consider the long-range magnetic order in metals. We know that Cu is a good para-magnetic metal while Fe is a ferromagnetic metal. Explain the difference and similarity of thetwo systems. Why Fe is not anti-ferromagnetic instead of being ferromagnetic? (Note that Fehas a configuration of 3d64s2 and Cu has 3d104s1.)

Kondo Effect
Spin-flip scattering between the free electrons of a metal and the local moment of amagnetic impurity = the Kondo effect.
Highly correlated ground state where the conduction electrons form a spin-polarizedcloud around the magnetic impurity.
Below Kondo temperature, = a narrow resonance at the Fermi energy: Kondoresonance.
