By Piers Coleman

a contemporary, graduate-level advent to many-body physics in condensed subject, this textbook explains the instruments and ideas wanted for a research-level realizing of the correlated habit of quantum fluids. beginning with an operator-based creation to the quantum box thought of many-body physics, this textbook provides the Feynman diagram method, Green's capabilities and finite-temperature many-body physics prior to constructing the trail necessary method of interacting structures. distinct chapters are dedicated to the options of Fermi liquid conception, damaged symmetry, conduction in disordered platforms, superconductivity and the physics of local-moment metals. a powerful emphasis on options and various routines make this a useful path booklet for graduate scholars in condensed subject physics. it is going to additionally curiosity scholars in nuclear, atomic and particle physics.

Oscillations and Waves: An Introduction

Bridging lower-division physics survey classes with upper-division physics classes, Oscillations and Waves: An advent develops a unified mathematical concept of oscillations and waves in actual platforms. Emphasizing physics over arithmetic, the writer comprises many examples from discrete mechanical, optical, and quantum mechanical platforms; non-stop gases, fluids, and elastic solids; digital circuits; and electromagnetic waves.

100 Years of Superconductivity

Even 100 years after its discovery, superconductivity maintains to deliver us new surprises, from superconducting magnets utilized in MRI to quantum detectors in electronics. a hundred Years of Superconductivity offers a finished selection of themes on approximately all of the subdisciplines of superconductivity.

Research, Fabrication and Applications of Bi-2223 HTS Wires: 1 (World Scientific Series in Applications of Superconductivity and Related Phenomena)

The aim of this publication is to hide all elements of Bi-2223 superconducting wires from basic study, fabrication strategy to purposes. This publication includes many chapters written via individual specialists within the world.

The Mathematical Theory of Symmetry in Solids: Representation Theory for Point Groups and Space Groups (Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences)

This booklet supplies the entire thought of the irreducible representations of the crystallographic element teams and area teams. this can be vital within the quantum-mechanical examine of a particle or quasi-particle in a molecule or crystalline reliable as the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a method belong to the irreducible representations of the crowd of symmetry operations of that process.
