Synopsis

This volume attempts to fill the gap between standard introductions to solid state physics, and textbooks which give a sophisticated treatment of strongly correlated systems. Starting with the basics of the microscopic theory of magnetism, one proceeds with relatively elementary arguments to such topics of current interest as the Mott transition, heavy fermions, and quantum magnetism. The basic approach is that magnetism is one of the manifestations of electron-electron interaction, and its treatment should be part of a general discussion of electron correlation effects.Though the text is primarily theoretical, a large number of illustrative examples are brought from the experimental literature. There are many problems, with detailed solutions.The book is based on the material of lectures given at the Diploma Course of the International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, and later at the Technical University and the R.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume attempts to fill the gap between the standard introductory textboks on solid state physics, and the specialized literature describing developments. It starts with the basic questions of the theory of magnetism, and goes on to include relatively elementary arguments to such topics of research interest as heavy fermions, Mott transition, and quantum magnetism. No specialized training in advanced theoretical methods is assumed. Though the text is primarily theoretical, it also discusses a number of experimental findings. The text is accompanied by problems, the solutions to which are worked out in detail.
