The first part of this state-of-the-art book conveys the fundamentals of magnetism for atoms and bulk-like solid-state systems, providing a basis for understanding new phenomena which exclusively occur in low-dimensional systems as the giant magneto resistance. This wide field is discussed in the second part. Suitable for graduate students in physical and materials sciences, the book includes numerous examples, exercises, and references.

This volume reviews selected aspects related to surface magnetism. It emphasizes the correlation of structural, electronic and magnetic properties in rare earth metal systems and ferromagnetic transition metals.
