TY - GEN AU - Amonetti,Andrea TI - Condensed matter applications of ADS/CFT: : focusing on strange metals T2 - Springer Thesis SN - 9783319618746 U1 - 530.41 23 PY - 2017/// CY - Brussels PB - Springer international Publishing KW - Physics KW - Condensed Matter N1 - Includes bibliography; Part I Condensed matter background -- Part II Introduction to holography -- Part III Thermo-electric transport in Ads/CFT N2 - The book deals with applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to strongly coupled condensed matter systems. In particular, it concerns with the study of thermo-electric transport properties of holographic models exhibiting momentum dissipation and their possible applications to the transport properties of strange metals. The present volume constitutes one of the few examples in the literature in which the topic is carefully reviewed both from the experimental and theoretical point of view, including not only holographic results but also standard condensed matter achievements developed in the past decades. This work might be extremely useful both for scientific and pedagogical purposes. ER -
