Produktbeschreibung

Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter targets scientists, researchers and graduate-level students focused on experimentation in the fields of physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and material sciences. Many worked-out problems are included in the book to aid the reader's comprehension of the subject. The authors show an important connection between the conduction electrons and the Fermi surface in an elementary manner in the text. No currently available text explains this connection. The currently active areas of research, high-temperature superconductivity and Quantum Hall Effect, are important subjects in conducting matter physics, and the authors plan to follow up this book with a second, more advanced book on superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book, basing on a quantum statistical mechanical point of view, develops the pairon theory of superconductivity. ... In total, this comprehensive monograph ... presents a very well textbook on superconductivity theories. ... The methodical advantage of the book is that ... problems of the text are used as tasks for a self-verification and self-training. ... will be very useful for students and also for their teachers specializing into Physics of Condensed Media and related directions." (I. A. Parinov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1174, 2009)

"Textbook reviews the physics of superconductivity and other superfluid phenomena which occur when matter organizes itself in a totally different way than it is expected to behave. ... This nice manual is intended for Ph.D. students working in condensed matter physics who want to have a global yet detailed and condensed view of these collective effects. The chapters ... contain the essential material to understand the technical aspects of the second quantization method and eigenvalue problems for determining the ground states of these collective effects."
