About this title

Synopsis

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. Particular attention is given to critical phenomena and renormalization group methods. In addition to serving as a course text, this book is an essential reference for students and researchers in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, who are interested in modern condensed matter physics.
