This modern textbook offers graduate students a comprehensive and accessible route from fundamental concepts to modern topics, language, and methods in the field. Coverage includes disordered and mesoscopic systems, quantum magnetism, Bose-Einstein condensates, superconductivity, and quantum entanglement. It is an ideal reference for researchers.

This Second Edition presents an updated review of the whole field of condensed matter physics. It consolidates new and classic topics from disparate sources, teaching not only about the effective masses of electrons in semiconductor crystals and band theory, but also about quasicrystals, dynamics of phase separation, why rubber is more floppy than steel, granular materials, q...(展开全部)

Now in paperback, this book provides an overview of the physics of condensed matter systems. Assuming a familiarity with the basics of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, the book establishes a general framework for describing condensed phases of matter, based on symmetries and conservation laws. It explores the role of spatial dimensionality and microscopic interactio...(展开全部)

An introduction to some of the most significant concepts in the physics of condensed matter. Emphasizes the general principles of many-body physics and perturbation theory, providing supporting mathematical structure. Paper.

Presenting the physics of the most challenging problems in condensed matter using the conceptual framework of quantum field theory, this book is of great interest to physicists in condensed matter and high energy and string theorists, as well as mathematicians. Revised and updated, this second edition features new chapters on the renormalization group, the Luttinger liquid, gau...(展开全部)

This textbook is an accessible introduction to the theory underlying the many fascinating properties of solids. Assuming only an elementary knowledge of quantum mechanics, it describes the methods by which one can perform calculations and make predictions of some of the many complex phenomena that occur in solids and quantum liquids. The emphasis is on reaching important result...(展开全部)
