Theory Of Quantum Liquids

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Combines a two-volume graduate textbook for students with a knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Nozieres (statistical physics, College of France, Paris) and Pines (physics, U. of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign) delayed the second volume for over two decades waiting for new findings, then decided to publish the original piece. The first, published in 1966, was subtitled Normal Fermi Liquids and deals with Landau's theory on those, its applications to various fluids and electrons in metals, elementary excitation, response functions, and other topics. The second volume, published in 1990 without a subtitle, treats Bose condensation, the development of Bose liquid theory, a microscopic basis for the two-fluid model and the elementary excitations of liquid helium II.

---

This volume is devoted to the theory of superfluid quantum liquids, describing the Landau theory of a neutral Fermi liquid in order to illustrate, in comparatively elementary fashion, the way both quantum statistics and particle interaction determine system behavior.
