Strongly correlated systems : theoretical methods / [edited by] Adolfo Avella and Ferdinando Mancini.

Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Springer series in solid-state sciences ; 171.Publication details: London : Springer, c2012.Description: xxxi, 461 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9783642218309 (hbk. : acidfree paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 537.623 23 Av949
Contents:
1. Density functional theory: a personal view-- 2. Projected wavefunctions and high Tc superconductivity in doped mott insulators-- 3. The pseudoparticle approach to strongly correlated electorn systems-- 4. The composite operator method (COM)-- 5. LAD+GTB method for band structure calculations in the strongly correlated materials-- 6. Projection operator method-- 7. Dynamical mean-field theory-- 8. Cluster perturbation theory-- 9. Dynamical cluster approximation-- 10. Self-energy-functional theory-- 11. Cluster dynamical mean field theory-- 12. Functional renormalization group for interacting many-fermion systems on two-dimensional lattices-- 13. Two-particle-self-consistent approach for the Hubbard model-- References-- Index.
Summary: The volume presents, for the very first time, an exhaustive collection of those modern theoretical methods specifically tailored for the analysis of Strongly Correlated Systems. Many novel materials, with functional properties emerging from macroscopic quantum behaviors at the frontier of modern research in physics, chemistry and materials science, belong to this class of systems. Any technique is presented in great detail by its own inventor or by one of the world-wide recognized main contributors. The exposition has a clear pedagogical cut and fully reports on the most relevant case study where the specific technique showed to be very successful in describing and enlightening the puzzling physics of a particular strongly correlated system. The book is intended for advanced graduate students and post-docs in the field as textbook and/or main reference, but also for other researchers in the field who appreciates consulting a single, but comprehensive, source or wishes to get acquainted, in a as painless as possible way, with the working details of a specific technique.
