Description

The author of this unique volume, Lev P Gor'kov is internationally renowned for his seminal contribution in the fundamentals of the Theory of Superconductivity, Theory of Metals, the field of Quantum Statistical Physics, and more generally, Organic Metals and the like. Each reprints' group is preceded by the author's introductions and commentaries clarifying the formulation of a problem, summarizing the essence of the results and placing them in the context of recent developments. The author belongs to the last generation of scientists who were the direct disciples of the legendary Russian theorist Lev Landau. And Gor'kov's achievements reflect the unique style and the originality of this famous Scientific School. As with other Russian scientists of his generation, many of the pioneering papers by Lev Gor'kov have been published in the Russian journals that are hard-to-reach for modern readers, students and postdocs. Allowing readers a glimpse into the various ways that the field of condensed matter physics was evolving for more than half a century, the volume is a valuable source for historians of science. Contents:IntroductionFundamentals of Theory of SuperconductivityStatistical Physics and ThermodynamicsQuantum MechanicsTheory of Metals and SuperconductorsOrganic ConductorsLocalization on Defects and Statistics of Levels in Low DimensionHydrodynamicsQuantum ElectrodynamicsMaterials: HTSC Cuprates, Manganites, Fe-based Superconductors Readership: For researchers in condensed matter physics, including postdoctoral and advanced graduate students. It may also be of interest to historians of science, as well as the general public with a university level of education. Key Features:Lev P Gor'kov is universally acclaimed for his groundbreaking contributions on the theory of many-body systemThe book includes reprints of numerous outstanding publications that — having been published in Russian Journals — remain hard-to-reach for the English-speaking audienceThe Gor'kov's publications collected in the book provide a unique glimpse into the style, methods and the original approach to physics characteristic of the famous Russian theoretical SchoolsIn his successful career, Lev Gor'kov has worked in many areas of theoretical physics and each topic in the book is supplied with the author's remarks and a discussion intended to put the results into the current contextKeywords:Diagrammatic Methods in Theory of Superconductivity;Unconventional Superconductors;Low-Dimensional Physics;Methods of Statistical Physics;Organic Conductors;Exchange Interaction;Convection
