Briefumschlag. Condition: Sehr gut. Ausschnitt aus Briefkuvert mit eigenhändiger Adresszeile von Anthony James Leggett. /// Signiert signed signée autograph autographe autogramm /// Sir Anthony James Leggett (* 26. März 1938 in Camberwell, Süd-London) ist Professor für Physik an der University of Illinois in Urbana. Er gilt als anerkannte Autorität in der Theorie der Tieftemperaturphysik und wurde für seine Pionierarbeit auf dem Gebiet der Suprafluidität mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik 2003 ausgezeichnet, die die Grundlagen zum theoretischen Verständnis von flüssigem und superflüssigem Helium und anderen stark gekoppelten Superflüssigkeiten legten. Er gab damit die Richtung für die Erforschung der Quantenphysik makroskopischer dissipativer Systeme und die Nutzung kondensierter Systeme zum Test der Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik vor. Leggett studierte am Balliol College der University of Oxford, wo er 1961 seinen Bachelor-Abschluss machte und 1964 bei Dirk ter Haar promovierte. Danach war er als Postdoc an der University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, der Universität Kyoto, in Oxford und Harvard. 1967 wurde er Lecturer und 1978 Professor an der University of Sussex. Seit 1983 ist er Professor an der University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 1972 bis 1974 war er Gastprofessor an der Universität Tokio, 1976/77 in Ghana und 1983 an der Cornell University. Er ist Mitglied der National Academy of Sciences (seit 1997), der American Philosophical Society, der American Academy of Arts and Sciences und der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, des Weiteren ist er Fellow der Royal Society (Großbritannien), der American Physical Society und des American Institute of Physics, sowie Honorary Fellow des Institute of Physics (Großbritannien). 2002 erhielt er den Wolf-Preis in Physik, 1994 den John Bardeen Prize der International Conference on the Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity (M2S) zusammen mit Gerassim Matwejewitsch Eliaschberg und 1981 den Fritz London Memorial Prize. /// Standort Wimregal GAD-0062 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

1st Edition. BOUND FIRST EDITION OF ANTHONY JAMES LEGGETT'S NOBEL PRIZE WINNING PAPER ON THE SUPERFLUIDITY OF HELIUM-3, "one of the holy grails of condensed matter physics" (Bishop, Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories, 4). Widely regarded as a world leader in low-temperature physics, in this paper Leggett "explains how atoms interact with one another in a superfluid"; specifically, he details "the anomalous superfluidity of helium-3.using the principles of quantum mechanics (Nndb). Leggett's work in this paper greatly advanced our understanding of how matter transitions from one phase to another (Rezende, Chronology of Science, 396). This volume also contains Osheroff, Richardson, Gully and Lee's Nobel Prize winning discovery of superfluidity in helium-3. In the 1920s, physicists discovered "that when isotopes of helium are cooled to extremely low temperatures they lose all viscosity, a property called superfluidity" (Rezende). Leggett's research has been instrumental in shaping our understanding of superfluid and normal liquids (as well as strongly coupled superfluids). In this paper, Leggett explains "the anomalous superfluidity of Helium-3. using the principles of quantum mechanics" (Nndb). "Helium exists in two stable forms: the normal Helium-4 with two neutrons and two protons, and Helium-3 with one neutron and two protons. The two show very different superconducting properties at very low temperatures" (ibid). Leggett draws an analogy between ferro-magnets and liquid Helium-3 "to explain the theory of superfluid Helium-3" (ibid). Along with Alexei A. Abrikosov, Vitaly L. Ginzburg, Leggett was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics "for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids" (Nobel Prize website). ALSO INCLUDED (pp. 920-923): FIRST EDITION OF OSHEROFF, RICHARDSON, & LEE'S NOBEL PRIZE WINNING DISCOVERY OF SUPERFLUIDITY IN HELIUM 3. Superfluidity is one "of the greatest physics discoveries in the first half of the 20th century" (Donnelly, The Discovery of Superfluidity, Physics Today, July 1995, 30). The discovery of superfluidity in helium 3 was very unexpected - so unexpected that the paper submitted by Osheroff et al. was initially rejected by Physical Review Letters; it simply wasn't believed. CONDITION & DETAILS: Rome, New York: American Institute of Physics. 4to (10.5 x 8 inches; 263 x 200mm). Entire volume, 1214 pp. Ex-libris with some markings (pictorial plate on paste down, however no spine markings whatsoever). Illustration: In-text figures throughout. Exterior: Bound in red buckram with a gilt-lettered spine. Tight, solid. Near fine. Interior: Bright and very clean throughout. Near fine condition.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Starting from first principles, this book introduces the closely related phenomena of Bose condensation and Cooper pairing, in which a very large number of single particles or pairs of particles are forced to behave in exactly the same way, and explores their consequences in condensed matter systems. Eschewing advanced formal methods, the author uses simple concepts and arguments to account for the various qualitatively new phenomena which occur in Bose-condensedand Cooper-paired systems, including but not limited to the spectacular macroscopic phenomena of superconductivity and superfluidity. The physical systems discussed include liquid 4-He, the BEC alkaligases, "classical" superconductors, superfluid 3-He, "exotic" superconductors and the recently stabilized Fermi alkali gases. The book should be accessible to beginning graduate students in physics or advanced undergraduates. An introduction, using simple arguments, to the general field of Bose condensation and Cooper pairing. It often treats standard textbook material from a new perspective, and covers various currently "exploding" topics which are not discussed in traditional texts. This item is printed on demand.
