Quantum Physics in One Dimension

Zusatztext It is of course the brave who succeed in this world, and Thierry Giamarchi does just that with this excellent book, written by an expert for the uninitiated ... Giamarchi writes in a refreshingly relaxed style with infectious enthusiasm for his subject, and readily combines formal instruction with physical insight. The result is a serious, pedagogical yet comprehensive guide to the fascinating and important field of one-dimensional quantum systems, for which many a graduate student (and not a few oldies) will be grateful. Informationen zum Autor Professor Thierry Giamarchi, DPMC, University of Geneva, 24 Quai Ernest Ansermet, CH-1211 Geneva, Switzerland, Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone], Email: [e-mail] Klappentext This book is a pedagogical yet complete introduction to the physics of the one dimension. Recent progress in nanotechnology and material research have made one dimensional systems a crucial part of today's physics. After an introduction to the basic concepts of correlated systems! the book gives a step by step description of the techniques needed to treat one dimension! and discusses the resulting physics. The specific experimental realization of one dimensional systems such as spin chains! quantum wires! nanotubes! organic superconductors! etc.! are examined. Given its progressive and pedagogical approach! this book should satisfy both graduate students who want to learn the tools of the trade and become professionals in the field as well as more advanced researchers who want to know more about the physics of a specific one dimensional system without unnecessary technicalities. Zusammenfassung This book is a pedagogical yet complete introduction to the physics of one-dimensional systems, a topic of fundamental importance in the light of today's progress in nanotechnology and materials research. Written in a gentle, easy-going style it is accessible to graduate students and leads to the frontiers of current research....
