Description for Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter
Paperback. This book explains the microscopic theory of superconducting properties with calculations using quantum statistical methods. The book shows how the Bose-Einstein Condensation Theory is applied to two-dimensional superconductors and quantum Hall systems. Num Pages: 322 pages, 85 black & white illustrations, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHJ; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 391.
Major superconducting properties including zero resistance, Meissner effect, sharp phase change, flux quantization, excitation energy gap, Josephson effects are covered and microscopically explained, using quantum statistical mechanical calculations. First treated are the 2D superconductivity and then the quantum Hall effects. Included are exercise-type problems for each section. Readers can grasp the concepts covered in the book by following the worked-through problems. Bibliographies are included in each chapter and a glossary and list of symbols are given in the beginning of the book.
The book is based on the materials taught by S. Fujita for several courses in Quantum Theory of Solids, ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter
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. … ...
