Magnets are versatile and found in many everyday items; even molecules themselves can act as tiny magnets. This book is an introduction to the rapidly growing field of molecular magnetism written with Masters and PhD students in mind, while postdocs and other newcomers will also find it an extremely
useful guide.
Adopting a clear didactic approach, the authors cover the fundamental concepts, providing many examples and giving an overview of the most important techniques and key applications. Although the focus is on lanthanide ions, thus reflecting the current research in the field, the principles and the methods can easily be applied to other systems.
The result is an excellent textbook from both a scientific and pedagogic point of view.
