This educational work presents a new approach towards resonant interaction between
classical light and matter. The interaction between light and matter is considered from three …

Many Fermi liquids are amenable to a shell-model description, where the particles move in
an average potential. The coupling of the single-particle degrees of freedom to other modes …

This is a thoroughly revised version of the original book published in 1986. About half of the
contents of the previous version remain essentially unchanged, and one quarter has been …

The main part of this book is devoted to the simplest kind of Green's functions, namely the
solutions of linear differential equations with a-function source. It is shown that these familiar …

This fully updated second edition of The Physics of Phonons remains the most
comprehensive theoretical discussion devoted to the study of phonons, a major area of …

The upper-critical-field behavior of Nb 3 Sn and V 3 Si is studied as a function of residual
resistivity. The results are analyzed in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau-Abrikosov …

It is well-known that superconductivity in thin films is generally suppressed with decreasing
thickness. This suppression is normally governed by either disorder-induced localization of …

Point contacts between normal metals at low temperatures show very interesting non-linear
phenomena in the current-voltage characteristics. The observed deviations from Ohm's law …

The authors present results of relativistic band structure calculations for the noble metals Cu,
Ag and Au. Particular effort was focused on good-quality self-consistent charge densities …

A scheme is presented that is based on the alloy analogy model and allows one to account
for thermal lattice vibrations as well as spin fluctuations when calculating response …
