Quantum Magnetism, or Atomic Matters

Achievements in materials engineering in the area of materials with special magnetic and spectral properties are of immense civilizational importance. Developing materials dedicated to specific applications requires knowledge from many scientific disciplines (chemistry, atomic physics, solid-state physics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, etc.) and many practical skills. Access to specialized data is also essential. The situation is further complicated by the fact that modern theoretical solid-state physics is a vast, dispersed discipline, often omitting the description of real, measurable properties of matter in favor of creating models that are not experimentally verifiable but dogmatically rigorous within the accepted theoretical assumptions. The expectations of magnetic and optically active materials engineering towards theoretical solid-state physics have led to the emergence of a significant number of more or less effective theoretical approaches selectively describing specific, unique properties of specific classes of substances in specific aspects. The result of a clearly visible trend towards assimilating a specific methodological apparatus for describing the properties of individual groups of materials is a significant number of newly emerging models that allow for the description of the characteristic physical properties of a specific group or class of solid compounds. There is a widely accepted opinion that the entirety of the magnetic properties of matter is determined by the electronic structure of the substance, but this definition takes on different meanings in different theoretical approaches. This dichotomy became the genesis of the creation of software that is intentionally designed to predict the properties of solid compounds and help create new materials with properties dedicated to specific applications.

We decided to call it ATOMIC MATTERS.
