{"product_id":"9781475702286","title":"Many-Body Theory of Solids: An Introduction","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMany-Body Theory of Solids: An Introduction\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eInkson, John C.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ehere exists a gap in the present literature on quantum mechanics T and its application to solids. It has been difficult to find an intro­ ductory textbook which could take a student from the elementary quan­ tum mechanical ideas of the single-particle Schrodinger equations, through the formalism and new physical concepts of many-body theory, to the level where the student would be equipped to read the scientific literature and specialized books on specific topics. The present book, which I believe fills this gap, grew out of two courses which I have given for a number of years at the University of Cambridge: \"Advanced Quan­ tum Mechanics,\" covering the quantization of fields, representations, and creation and annihilation operators, and \"Many Body Theory,\" on the application of quantum field theory to solids. The first course is a final-year undergraduate physics course while the second is a joint first­ and fourth-year undergraduate math­ year postgraduate physics course ematics course. In an American context this would closely correspond to a graduate course at the masters level. In writing this book I have tried to stress the physical aspects of the mathematics preferring where possible to introduce a technique by using a simple illustrative example rather than develop a purely formal treat­ ment. In order to do this I have assumed a certain familiarity with solid­ state physics on the level of a normal undergraduate course, but the book should also be useful to those without such a background.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781475702286\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-0226-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 334\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44421832933516,"sku":"9781475702286","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781475702286.jpg?v=1775822037","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781475702286","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
