About the Book

"Thermodynamics in Magnetic Fields" by Vladimir Kozhevnikov offers a unique and concise review of thermodynamic properties influenced by magnetic fields, a topic that has traditionally been scattered across journal articles. This pioneering book is the first to provide comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics in magnetic fields, with a focus on the properties of materials under the influence of magnetic fields and their behavior in various contexts.

The text covers time-independent magnetic fields, explores the thermodynamic properties of magnetizing materials of different shapes, and delves into the equilibrium properties of superconductors, considering various shapes and sizes. With its clear explanations, the book helps readers understand these complex phenomena, especially in the realms of solid-state physics, magnetism, and superconductivity.

Each chapter is complemented by problems and worked solutions that apply the principles of thermodynamics to real-world questions in contemporary superconductivity, such as the properties of vortex matter. This makes the book an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers specializing in thermodynamics, magnetism, and superconductivity. Whether you are looking to enhance your theoretical understanding or apply these principles to real-world scenarios, this book is an essential addition to your academic library.
