Hello folks, in order to add another layer of organisation to the series on magnetism; this post will serve as a dynamic contents page with edits keeping up with additions.
Post 1: Introduction (a)
Post 2: Introduction (b)
Post 3: Canonical Momentum
Post 4: Bohr-van Leeuwen Theorem
Post 5: Quantum Mechanics of Spin
Post 6: Diamagnetism
Post 7: Isolated Magnetic Moments
Post 8: Paramagnetism
Future direction of this series: in future posts we will study paramagnetism, deriving expressions for the magnetisation for J = 1/2, and the general case, before moving on to study ferromagnetism and the exchange interaction. After developing our knowledge of the different types of magnetism we will consider more subtle things such as domain walls and phase transitions.
