Introduction to Superfluidity : Field-theoretical Approach and Applications Paperback / softback
by Andreas Schmitt
Part of the Lecture Notes in Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Superfluidity – and closely related to it, superconductivity – are very general phenomena that can occur on vastly different energy scales.
Their underlying theoretical mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking is even more general and applies to a multitude of physical systems. In these lecture notes, a pedagogical introduction to the field-theory approach to superfluidity is presented.
The connection to more traditional approaches, often formulated in a different language, is carefully explained in order to provide a consistent picture that is useful for students and researchers in all fields of physics. After introducing the basic concepts, such as the two-fluid model and the Goldstone mode, selected topics of current research are addressed, such as the BCS-BEC crossover and Cooper pairing with mismatched Fermi momenta.
