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 '"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...
