商品描述

This book provides an introduction to the methods of coupled quantum statistical field theory and Green's functions. The methods of coupled quantum field theory have played a major role in the extensive development of nonrelativistic quantum many-particle theory and condensed matter physics. This introduction to the subject is intended to facilitate delivery of the material in an easily digestible form to advanced undergraduate physics majors at a relatively early stage of their scientific development. The main mechanism to accomplish this is the early introduction of variational calculus and the Schwinger Action Principle, accompanied by Green's functions. Important achievements of the theory in condensed matter and quantum statistical physics are reviewed in detail to help develop research capability. These include the derivation of coupled field Green's function equations-of-motion for a model electron-hole-phonon system, extensive discussions of retarded, thermodynamic and nonequilibrium Green's functions and their associated spectral representations and approximation procedures. Phenomenology emerging in these discussions include quantum plasma dynamic-nonlocal-screening, plasmons, polaritons, linear electromagnetic response, excitons, polarons, phonons, magnetic Landau quantization, van der Waals interactions, chemisorption, etc. Considerable attention is also given to low dimensional and nanostructured systems, including quantum wells, wires, dots and superlattices, as well as materials having exceptional conduction properties such as Superconductors, Superfluids and Graphene.

本書介紹了耦合量子統計場論和格林函數的方法。耦合量子場論的方法在非相對論量子多粒子理論和凝聚態物理的廣泛發展中扮演了重要角色。本書對該主題的介紹旨在以易於消化的形式,幫助高年級本科物理專業學生在其科學發展的相對早期階段掌握這些材料。實現這一目標的主要機制是早期引入變分微積分和施温格作用原則,並伴隨格林函數的介紹。書中詳細回顧了該理論在凝聚態和量子統計物理中的重要成就,以幫助發展研究能力。這些成就包括為模型電子-孔-聲子系統推導耦合場格林函數的運動方程、對延遲、熱力學和非平衡格林函數及其相關的譜表示和近似程序的廣泛討論。這些討論中出現的現象學包括量子等離子體動力學-非局部屏蔽、等離子子、極化子、線性電磁響應、激子、極化子、聲子、磁性朗道量子化、范德瓦耳斯相互作用、化學吸附等。此外,書中還相當重視低維和納米結構系統,包括量子井、量子線、量子點和超晶格,以及具有卓越導電性能的材料,如超導體、超流體和石墨烯。

作者簡介

Norman J. Morgenstern Horing, Emeritus Professor, Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, USA

Norman J. Morgenstern Horing's research activities started as a doctoral student with Prof. J. Schwinger at Harvard University, employing thermal Green's function methods to determine the Landau quantized plasmon spectrum. During the period 1960-1965 he worked at the MIT Lincoln and National Magnet Laboratories, followed by positions as a Visiting Lecturer at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University and then as a Staff Physicist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. (1965-1966). Having progressed through the professorial ranks at Stevens Institute of Technology, he is now retiring as Emeritus Professor. He has worked extensively on the dielectric and transport properties of semiconductors (often focused on the role of a magnetic field) using the methods of coupled quantum statistical field theory, contributing over 300 scientific publications, including various book chapters and five books.

諾曼·J·摩根斯坦·霍林(Norman J. Morgenstern Horing),美國霍博肯史蒂文斯科技學院物理與工程物理系名譽教授

諾曼·J·摩根斯坦·霍林的研究活動始於哈佛大學,當時他是J·施溫格(J. Schwinger)教授的博士生,利用熱格林函數方法來確定蘭道量子化的等離子體光譜。在1960年至1965年間,他在麻省理工學院林肯實驗室和國家磁場實驗室工作,隨後擔任劍橋大學凱文迪什實驗室的訪問講師,然後在美國海軍研究實驗室(華盛頓D.C.)擔任職員物理學家(1965-1966)。在史蒂文斯科技學院的教授職位上逐步晉升後,他現在以名譽教授的身份退休。他廣泛研究半導體的介電和傳輸特性(通常專注於磁場的作用),使用耦合量子統計場論的方法,發表了超過300篇科學論文,包括各種書籍章節和五本書籍。
