Märksõnad:
Starting from first principles, this book introduces the closely related phenomena of Bose condensation and Cooper pairing, in which a very large number of single particles or pairs of particles are forced to behave in exactly the same way, and explores their consequences in condensed matter systems. Eschewing advanced formal methods, the author uses simple concepts and arguments to account for the various qualitatively new phenomena which occur in Bose-condensed and Cooper-paired systems, including but not limited to the spectacular macroscopic phenomena of superconductivity and superfluidity. The physical systems discussed include liquid 4-He, the BEC alkali gases, "classical" superconductors, superfluid 3-He, "exotic" superconductors and the recently stabilized Fermi alkali gases. The book should be accessible to beginning graduate students in physics or advanced undergraduates.

Arvustused

A book of obvious and permanent appeal, written by a towering figure in the field. * Frank Wilczek, Nobel laureate, Massachusetts Institute of Technology * Offers many original insights, ... clearly and with authority. * John Chalker, University of Oxford * Tony Leggett is widely known as one of the finest theoretical physicists in the world, and has a reputation for extremely clear and insightful writing. * A.P. Mackenzie, University of St Andrews * 'A wonderfully informative source, [ ...] a book that many condensed matter theorists can read with profit.' Physics Today, August 2007, Philip W. Anderson There are many features that make his book an extrordinarily valuable one. Outstanding merits include the author's attempt to provide physical ideas rather than equations and to derive standard results (such as the Ginzburg-Landau formulation of superconductivity theory) in a new way. Nature Publishing Group, 2007. Dieter Volhardt.

Professor A.J.Leggett Macarthur Professor and Professor of Physics University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign









Anthony J.Leggett was born in London, England in March 1938. He attended Balliol College, Oxford where he majored in Literae Humaniores (classical languages and literature, philosophy and Greco-Roman history), and thereafter Merton College, Oxford where he took a second undergraduate degree in Physics. He completed a D.Phil.(Ph.D.) degree in theoretical physics under the supervision of D.ter Haar. After postdoctoral research in Urbana, Kyoto and elsewhere he joined the faculty of the University of Sussex (UK) in 1967, being promoted to Reader in 1971 and to Professor in 1978. In 1983 he became John D. and Catherine T. Macarthur Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a position he currently holds. His principal research interests lie in the areas of condensed matter physics, particularly high-temperature superconductivity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics.
