”Density Waves in Solids is written for graduate students and scientists interested in solid-state sciences. It discusses the theoretical and experimental state of affairs of two novel types of broken symmetry ground states of metals, charge, and spin density waves. These states arise as the consequence of electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions in low-dimensional metals.Some fundamental aspects of the one-dimensional electron gas, and of the materials with anisotropic properties, are discussed first. This is followed by the mean field theory of the phases transitions—discussed using second quantized formalism—together with the various experimental observations on the transition and on the ground states. Fluctuation effects and the collective excitations are reviewed next, using the Ginzburg-Landau formalism, followed by the review of the interaction of these states with the underlying lattice and with impurities. The final chapters are devoted to the response of the ground states to external perturbations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
density waves and superconductivity have much in common,

This review is from: Density Waves in Solids (Paperback)
The book presents in a very interesting fashion the similarities and connections between density waves and superconductivity. Although most of the equations are presented in final form, without much explanation for their deduction, the concepts are presented in a fairly clear and logical sequence.
