Quantum Magnetism / Edition 1

by Ulrich Schollwöck, Johannes Richter, Damian J.J. Farnell, Raymond F. Bishop

Overview

Closing a gap in the literature, this volume is intended both as an introductory text at postgraduate level and as a modern, comprehensive reference for researchers in the field.

Provides a full working description of the main fundamental tools in the theorists toolbox which have proven themselves on the field of quantum magnetism in recent years.

Concludes by focusing on the most important cuurent materials form an experimental viewpoint, thus linking back to the initial theoretical concepts.
