First treated are the 2D superconductivity and then the quantum Hall effects. Included are exercise-type problems for each section. Readers can grasp the concepts covered in the book by following the worked-through problems. Bibliographies are included in each chapter and a glossary and list of symbols are given in the beginning of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is based on the materials taught by S.

The electrical resistance normally arising from impurities and the phonons in a metal suddenly drops to zero below a critical temperature T\u003csub\u003ec\u003c\/sub\u003e. Not all elemental metals show superconductivity, which suggests that the phenomenon depends on the lattice structure and Fermi surface. The cause of the superconductivity is found to be the phonon-exchange attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuantum Theory of Conducting Matter: Superconductivity \u003c\/em\u003etargets scientists, researchers and second-year graduate-level students focused on experimentation in the field of condensed matter physics, solid state physics, superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect.
