Superfluid States of Matter (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Discussing changes over the last two decades, this book represents an up-to-date treatment of superfluidity. It covers new superfluid materials such as high-temperature and multicomponentsuperconductors, ultra-cold atomic bosons and fermions, and helium supersolids. It begins by explaining the general physical principles behind the superfluid phenomenon as a framework for the discussion of realistic systems. The authors present superfluidity as a phenomenon of emergent topological order and show that all superproperties of the system are explained by the appearance of a new constant of motion.

Autorenporträt

Boris Vladimirovich Svistunov received his MSc in physics in 1983 from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow, Russia. In 1990, he received his PhD in theoretical physics from Kurchatov Institute (Moscow), where he worked from 1986 to 2003 (and is still affiliated with). In 2003, he joined the Physics Department of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Egor Sergeevich Babaev received his MSc in physics in 1996 from St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University and A. F. Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia. In 2001, he received his PhD in theoretical physics from Uppsala University (Sweden). In 2007, after several years as a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell University, he joined the faculty of the Physics Department of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is currently a faculty member at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.

Nikolay Victorovich Prokof'ev received his MSc in physics in 1982 from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow, Russia. In 1987, he received his PhD in theoretical physics from Kurchatov Institute (Moscow), where he worked from 1984 to 1999. In 1999, he joined the Physics Department of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
