Abstract

Since the discovery of high Tc superconductivity, the role of electron correlation in superconductivity has been an important new issue in condensed matter physics. Here the role of electron correlation in metals is explained in detail on the basis of the Fermi liquid theory. The book discusses the following issues: enhancements of electronic specific heat and magnetic susceptibility; effects of electron correlation on transport phenomena such as electric resistivity andHall coefficient; magnetism; Mott transition and unconventional superconductivity. These originate commonly from the coulomb repulsion between electrons. In particular, superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems is discussed with a unified point of view. This book is written to explain interesting physics in metals for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics.
