Advances in Solid State Theory (Iop Concise Physics: A Morgan & Claypool Publication)

Description

The book Advanced Solid State Theory is aimed at graduate level students interested in more advanced topics of condensed matter physics. It is self-contained in the sense that it provides the theoretical tools to calculate properties of interacting quantum systems (Elements of many-particle physics), which are then applied to a selection of subjects of interest in condensed matter physics: Dielectric theory of the solid, Transport theory and Superconductivity. Basic knowledge in the concepts of condensed matter theory as well as solid background in quantum mechanics is assumed.
