Literature Request: Introduction to d-wave superconductivity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking a pedagogic introduction to d-wave superconductivity, particularly through the lens of field theory and the derivation of the gap parameter from a fundamental Hamiltonian. Recommended resources include P.W. Anderson's "Theory of High Tc Superconductors" and a review by P.A. Lee in the "Review of Modern Physics," which emphasize the approach of understanding high-temperature superconductors as doped Mott insulators. Additionally, Vladimir P. Mineev and K. V. Samokhin's book "Introduction to Unconventional Superconductivity" is suggested as a valuable resource. Participants express the need for foundational texts and papers that can provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic, while also noting the importance of critically evaluating the theories presented in these works.

I'm looking for a pedagogic introduction to d-wave superconductivity on the level of field theory.

Ideally, this would involve a derivation of d-wave superconductivity and the form of the gap parameter from some fundamental Hamiltonian (if such a derivation is even possible yet).

Books and papers are welcome.

Hi! There is a very good book by P W Anderson "Theory of High Tc Superconductor", also there is a very good review by P. A. Lee in Review of Modern Physics. The general approach to high Tc is doped Mott insulator.

Considering his theory is wrong, you might want to take it with a grain of salt.

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...
