Böcker av Professor Saurabh (Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (India)) Basu

The study of Condensed Matter Physics has evolved over the last decade or so. The scope of Modern Condensed Matter Physics has expanded significantly from traditional solid-state physics and has become a highly interdisciplinary field of research.This book connects modern experimental discoveries with theoretical and fundamental concepts. It introduces the interacting and non-interacting aspects of fermionic systems and the role of topology and symmetry in understanding material properties.The text emphasizes quantum Hall effect, topological insulators and how the discovery of graphene has incited brilliant ideas in both fundamental and applied aspects. The role of interactions is discussed to explain topics including Magnetism and Superconductivity. Topics such as Bose Einstein condensation and superfluid properties of atomic systems in optical lattices are also a key feature of the text. The book offers something different to the field due to the range of topics covered in a pedagogical way for students.Key FeaturesProvides a modern perspective of condensed matter physicsAims to be understandable for studentsProvides significant pedagogical content in the form of derivations and illustrationsPresents advanced topics in a pedagogical manner
