Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Bibliography -- Elements of many-particle physics -- Green's functions in condensed matter physics -- Formal properties of Green's functions -- Perturbation theory and Feynman diagramsDielectric theory of the solid -- Electromagnetic fields in solids -- Dielectric properties of ionic crystals -- Dielectric response of the free electron gasTransport theory -- Transport coefficients -- The Boltzmann equation -- Transport due to impurities and phononsSuperconductivity -- Phenomenology -- Standard theory of superconductivity -- Conductivity and Meisner effect.This book will introduce advanced concepts and topics of solid-state theory. To this end we need a tool box that enables us to treat electron-electron interactions, and possibly also electron-phonon or phonon-phonon interactions in some well-defined, approximate way. The most advanced, yet still feasible approach, is the Green's function technique and the perturbation expansion using Feynman diagrams. This technique allows the interacting system to be treated as 'solid' within well-characterizable approximations, still widely used today, but also provides the language used in modern computer-based simulations as well as for the interpretation of experiments.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Title from PDF title page (viewed on July 28, 2014).
