Applying Path integral to Superconductivity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking resources for understanding statistical mechanics and superconductivity. Recommended materials include the Feynman lectures on statistical mechanics, which provide a solid introduction, and Abrikosov's "Methods of Quantum Field Theory in Statistical Mechanics," which contains relevant content. For those interested in the electronic properties of superconductors, Mahan's "Many Particle Physics" is suggested as a valuable reference. The conversation highlights the importance of these texts for gaining insights into the field.

Hi, i m new here.

Can anyone give me a direction on this? Books, references, ideas...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There are several books that would have something on this. The Feynman lectures on statistical mechanics (a separate book from the three volume lecture series) has a good introduction, and the Abrikosov Methods of Quantum Field theory in Statistical Mechanics would also have material on this.
 
Thanks ! I will look into that right away.

Superconductor is not my field, but i feel like checking it out ;)
 
Can you be a bit more specific?
If you mean bulk/electrinic properties you should take a look at Mahan's "Many Particle Physics".
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
