| Author | Marino, Eduardo C., author. |
| Title | Quantum field theory approach to condensed matter physics / Eduardo C. Marino. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xix, 516 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 24 Oct 2017). |
| Contents | Independent electrons and static crystals -- Vibrating crystals -- Interacting electrons -- Interactions in action -- Functional formulation of quantum field theory -- Quantum fields in action -- Symmetries: explicit or secret -- Classical topological excitations -- Quantum topological excitations -- Duality, bosonization and generalized statistics -- Statistical transmutation -- Pseudo quantum electrodynamics -- Quantum field theory methods in condensed matter -- Metals, Fermi liquids, Mott and Anderson insulators -- The dynamics of polarons -- Polyacetylene -- The Kondo effect -- Quantum magnets in 1D: Fermionization, bosonization, Coulomb gases and 'all that' -- Quantum magnets in 2D: nonlinear sigma model, CP1 and 'all that' -- The spin-fermion system: a quantum field theory approach -- The spin glass -- Quantum field theory approach to superfluidity -- Quantum field theory approach to superconductivity -- The cuprate high-temperature superconductors -- The pnictides: iron based superconductors -- The quantum Hall effect -- Graphene -- Silicene and transition metal dichalcogenides -- Topological insulators -- Non-abelian statistics and quantum computation. |
| Summary | A balanced combination of introductory and advanced topics provides a new and unique perspective on the quantum field theory approach to condensed matter physics. Beginning with the basics of these subjects, such as static and vibrating lattices, independent and interacting electrons, the functional formulation for fields and different generating functionals and their roles, this book presents a unified viewpoint illustrating the connections and relationships among various physical concepts and mechanisms. Advanced and newer topics bring the book up to date with current developments and include sections on cuprate and pnictide superconductors, graphene, Weyl semimetals, transition metal dichalcogenides and topological insulators. Finally, well-known subjects such as the quantum Hall effect, superconductivity, Mott and Anderson insulators, and the Anderson-Higgs mechanism are examined within a unifying QFT-CMP approach. Presenting new insights on traditional topics, this text allows graduate students and researchers to master the proper theoretical tools required in a variety of condensed matter physics systems. |
