The article by Fulde, Thalmeier and Zwicknagl traces many of the recent developments in the field of strongly correlated many electron systems. It is very useful both as a reference and a pedagogical exposition since it places these developments into a historical context beginning with early developments in the electron theory of solids. The second article in this volume, by Brechet and Hutchinson, concerns pattern formation in metals and alloys. Spontaneous pattern formation is the development of a regularity, either in the spatial distribution of the material in a system or in its...

Solid State Physics, Volume 68 provides the latest information on a branch of physics that is primarily devoted to the study of matter in its solid phase, especially at the atomic level. Chapters in this updated volume include new research in the use of phonon-polaritons in polar materials to do plasmonic like studies, but without the plasmons, along with a section on Polar oxide interfaces. This prestigious serial presents timely and state-of-the-art reviews pertaining to all aspects of solid state physics.
