Condensed Matter Physics (Wiley-Interscience) Condensed Matter Physics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the book "Condensed Matter Physics" by Michael P. Marder, which is considered a suitable introduction to the field. Participants express interest in additional resources, particularly in quantum liquid theory, noting a lack of available lecture notes online. Several relevant papers and links are shared, including topics on topological orders and Chern-Simons theory, as well as the quantum theory of electron liquids. The conversation highlights a distinction between established concepts like Landau's Fermi liquid theory and the less familiar quantum liquid theory, indicating a need for further exploration and resources in this area.

hello,

do you have any experience with this book:
Condensed Matter Physics, Michael P. Marder, Wiley & Sons.
Is this good for the first contact to condensed matter physics, or can you recommend me another book?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
thank you for the link, Astronuc.

I'm especially interested in quantum-liquid-theory, maybe there are any lecture notes on the web? i did a search and didnt find something, maybe someone is more lucky?
 
Quantum liquid theory is new to me.

Perhaps this might be of interest -

I haven't heard of "quantum liquid theory" either... Landau's Fermi liquid theory, yes, but not quantum liquid theory.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
