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 '"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...
