Description
American Institute of Physics Lectures on the Physics of Highly Correlated Electron Systems VI 2002 Edition by Ferdinando Mancini
This volume contains the lectures and participant contributions delivered at the Sixth Training Course in the Physics of Correlated Electron Systems and High-Tc Superconductors. Different from usual workshops, this course was designed to promote active participation of senior and young researchers and to introduce them to some specific problems. Lecture topics include: Introduction to Renormalization Group and Ward Identities in Critical Phenomena and in Fermi and Bose Liquids; Local Moment Physics in Heavy Electron Systems; and Transport of Strongly Correlated Electrons. Other contributions include: Theoretical de Haas-van Alphen Data and Plasma Frequencies of MgB2 and TaB2; Magnetic and Orbital Ordering in Doped Manganites; A Combined Exact Diagonalization - ab initio Study of the Metallicity and Electron Localization in Nanoscopic Systems; A New Spinwave Expansion for the Ordered Kondo Lattice; and The Novel Superconducting Clathrates.
