Chapters in the History of Terrestrial Magnetism
1--The science of Terrestrial Magnetism is based on the fact that a magnet, free to move about its center of gravity, tends to assume a position of relative rest in an approximately definite direction with respect to the geographical meridian and the vertical at the place of observation. That it should do so must be due to the existence of a field of force which is known as the terrestrial magn...

l•In Chapter I* it was shown that the compass had been brought into use in northwestern Europe for the purposes of navigation by the year 1187, that its first mention in the literature of that year does not refer to it as being of recent introduction, that the discovery of the directive property of a magnet in the Earth's f•eld must have preceded this application by some considerable time, but ...

the orderly arrangement of air densities and pressures demanded by gravity. The latter, on the other hand, as perpetually and continuously sets portions of the air in motion, in order to establish and maintain a state of equilibrium, which, however, is never attained. We must clearly recognize that the ceaseless complex changes in and motions of our atmosphere represent in fact the only state o...

متن کاملNoncollinear Magnetism
Recently, a great deal of effort has been focused on developing the so called fully unconstrained approach to noncollinear magnetism. This approach allows the magnetization density within a material to be calculated as a continuous vector variable of position, as opposed to using the atomic moment approximation (AMA) where a fixed quantization direction is assumed for a volumefilling sphere s...
