Opis

Topological Phases of Matter is one of the most exciting topics in condensed matter physics. This important, graduate level text unites the underlying physical mechanisms behind the unique phenomena in topological matter within a general, theoretical framework.

Recenzje

'… a timely and valuable introduction to the most important theoretical concepts in the topological study of matter … brief treatment of a vast, rapidly evolving subject that currently dominates condensed matter physics … This book is appropriate for physics collections within all university libraries.'
