New classification of magnets

ORAL

Abstract

Standard methods classify magnets using their magnetic long range order at T=0 (ferromagnets, antiferromagnets and so on). Some classifications can be created inside those groups as well. In addition, there is a very attractive and widely used qualitative ‘localized-itinerant’ picture, which, however, does not have any real criteria behind. I would like to introduce a rather universal and possible quantitative classification using the idea of magnetic short range order, which we recently found theoretically and which has been for years observed experimentally in many materials.
