Description for Many-particle Physics
Hardback. Green's functions are used to describe processes in solids and quantum fluids and to address problems in areas such as electron gas, polarons, electron transport, optical response, superconductivity and superfluidity. The title features chapters on different mean-free paths, Hubbard model, Coulomb blockade, and the quantum Hall effect. Series: Physics of Solids and Liquids. Num Pages: 785 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHFC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 261 x 185 x 51. Weight in Grams: 1678.
The first, second, and third editions of this book seem to occur at ten year intervals. The intent is to keep the book up-to-date. Many-body theory is a field which continually evolves in time. Journals only publish new results, conferences only invite speakers to report new phenomena, and agencies only fund scientists to do new physics. Today's physics is old hat by tomorrow. Students want to learn new material, and textbooks must be modified to keep up with the times. The early chapters in this book teach the techniques of many-body theory. They are largely unchanged in format. The later ... Read more
