In this upper-level text, Professor Tanner introduces the reader to the behavior of electrons in solids, starting with the simplest …
This textbook emphasizes a few fundamental principles and extracts from them a wealth of information. This approach also unifies an …
For most of the last century, condensed matter physics has been dominated by band theory and Landau's symmetry breaking theory. …
In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the dominant role of the local atomic environment in controlling the electronic structure …
The book that provides the classic, fundamental basis for any work in the field of superconductivity.
Drawn from the author’s introductory course at the University of Orsay, Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys is intended to explain …
Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) offer wonderful examples of the radical macroscopic effects inherent in quantum physics: phase changes between different …
The primary focus of this thesis is to theoretically describe nanokelvin experiments in cold atomic gases, which offer the potential …
Quantum phase transitions describe the violent rearrangement of electrons or atoms as they evolve from well defined excitations in one …
The transverse field Ising and XY models (the simplest quantum spin models) provide the organising principle for the rich variety …
In this book, the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of continuous phase transitions are studied in various systems, with a special …
Quantum phase transitions are strongly relevant in a number of fields, ranging from condensed matter to cold atom physics and …
Recently, analogies between laboratory physics (e.g. quantum optics and condensed matter) and gravitational/cosmological phenomena such as black holes have attracted …
The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrodinger's …
The simulation of physical systems requires a simplified, hierarchical approach which models each level from the atomistic to the macroscopic …
This work deals with the foundations of classical physics from the ''symplectic'' point of view, and of quantum mechanics from …
