Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter: Superconductivity

Autor Shigeji Fujita, Kei Ito, Salvador Godoy

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 oct 2010

Major superconducting properties including zero resistance, Meissner effect, sharp phase change, flux quantization, excitation energy gap, Josephson effects are covered and microscopically explained, using quantum statistical mechanical calculations. First treated are the 2D superconductivity and then the quantum Hall effects. Included are exercise-type problems for each section. Readers can grasp the concepts covered in the book by following the worked-through problems. Bibliographies are included in each chapter and a glossary and list of symbols are given in the beginning of the book.
The book is based on the materials taught by S. Fujita for several courses in Quantum Theory of Solids, Advanced Topics in Modern Physics, and Quantum Statistical Mechanics.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“This book, basing on a quantum statistical mechanical point of view, develops the pairon theory of superconductivity. … In total, this comprehensive monograph … presents a very well textbook on superconductivity theories. … The methodical advantage of the book is that … problems of the text are used as tasks for a self-verification and self-training. … will be very useful for students and also for their teachers specializing into Physics of Condensed Media and related directions.” (I. A. Parinov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1174, 2009)
“Textbook reviews the physics of superconductivity and other superfluid phenomena which occur when matter organizes itself in a totally different way than it is expected to behave. … This nice manual is intended for Ph.D. students working in condensed matter physics who want to have a global yet detailed and condensed view of these collective effects. The chapters … contain the essential material to understand the technical aspects of the second quantization method and eigenvalue problems for determining the ground states of these collective effects.” (Jean-Yves Fortin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 k)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Superconductivity is the most striking phenomenon in solid state physics. The electrical resistance normally arising from impurities and the phonons in a metal suddenly drops to zero below a critical temperature T_c. Not all elemental metals show superconductivity, which suggests that the phenomenon depends on the lattice structure and Fermi surface. The cause of the superconductivity is found to be the phonon-exchange attraction.
Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter: Superconductivity targets scientists, researchers and second-year graduate-level students focused on experimentation in the field of condensed matter physics, solid state physics, superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect. Many worked out problems are included in the book to aid the reader's comprehension of the subject.
The following superconducting properties are covered and microscopically explained in this book:

zero resistance
Meissner effect
flux quantization
Josephson effect
excitation energy gap

Shigeji Fujita and Kei Ito are authors of Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter: Newtonian Equations of Motion for a Bloch Electron, predecessor to this book on superconductivity.

Caracteristici

The microscopic theory of superconducting properties is explained with step-by-step calculations using quantum statistical methods Unlike competing works, this book shows how the Bose-Einstein Condensation Theory is applied to two-dimensional superconductors and quantum Hall systems Quantum statistical mechanics is used to explain superconductivity and quantum Hall Effect in a unified manner Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
