The microscopic magnetization: concept andapplication
Abstract
In this tutorial review a definition of the magnetization which can be used at the microscopic and quantum-mechanical level is motivated and developed. Its implications for the problem of reconstructing the magnetization in a crystal from magnetic neutron-diffraction data or from band-theoretical calculations are discussed, paying special attention to the relation between spin and orbital contributions.
