Quantum Statistical Field Theory

An Introduction to Schwinger's Variational Method with Green's Function Nanoapplications, Graphene and Superconductivity

Beschreibung

The methods of coupled quantum field theory, which have played a major role in the extensive development of nonrelativistic quantum many-particle theory and condensed matter physics, are at the core of this book.

Autor

Norman J. Morgenstern Horing's research activities started as a doctoral student with Prof. J. Schwinger at Harvard University, employing thermal Green's function methods to determine the Landau quantized plasmon spectrum. During the period 1960-1965 he worked at the MIT Lincoln and National Magnet Laboratories, followed by positions as a Visiting Lecturer at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University and then as a Staff Physicist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. (1965-1966). Having progressed through the professorial ranks at Stevens Institute of Technology, he is now retiring as Emeritus Professor. He has worked extensively on the dielectric and transport properties of semiconductors (often focused on the role of a magnetic field) using the methods of coupled quantum statistical field theory, contributing over 300 scientific publications, including various book chapters and five books.
