Quantum Field Theory of Many-Body Systems: From the Origin of Sound to an Origin of Light and Electrons
ISBN: 9780199227259 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For most of the last century, condensed matter physics has been dominated by band theory and Landau's symmetry breaking theory.

These new physical concepts are so fundamental that they may even influence our understanding of the origin of light and electrons in the universe. This book is a pedagogical and systematic introduction to the new concepts and quantum field theoretical methods in condensed...
