Useful Literature

General:

S. Blundell: Magnetism in Condensed Matter
Coey, Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (2009). Online via Heidi
A.H. Morrish: The Physical principles of Magnetism. Reprint from 1965. Detailed and good description on magnetism. Sometimes old notation, but recommended both for introduction and research.

General with focus on applications:

Handbook of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials / edited by J. M. D. Coey, Stuart S.P. Parkin. - 1st ed. 2021. Online via HEIDI

Theory books:

W. Nolting, A. Ramakanth: Quantum Theory of Magnetism. Comprehensive theoretical introduction into magnetism. Good theory textbook.
P. Fazekas: LECTURE NOTES ON ELECTRON CORRELATION AND MAGNETISM. Very good theory book bridging back magnetism to electron correlations. High level (but also good for experimentalists).
N. Majlis: The Quantum Theory of Magnetism. Textbook for a theoretical condensed matter magnetism course. Sophisticated
Daniel I. Khomskii: Basic Aspects of the Quantum Theory of Solids: Order and Elementary Excitations (Table of contents)

Experimental methods

Magnetic measurement techniques for materials characterization (online via HEIDI)

With a focus on materials, but theory book:

Daniel I. Khomskii: Transition Metal Compounds (online via HEIDI) Transition metal-based materials (excellent book on fundamental physics properties with a with a focus on theory)

Literature on group theory in solid state physics

M. Tinkham: group theory and quantum mechanics
M.J. Lax: Symmetry principles in solid state and molecular physics
Powell, Richard C.: Symmetry, Group Theory, and the Physical Properties of Crystals (fulltext online available via HEIDI)
Dresselhaus, Dresselhaus, Jorio: Group theory. application to the physics of condensed matter, Springer 2008 (incl. crystal field splittings etc)
