    CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS IN THE PRIME OF THE 21ST CENTURY
    Phenomena, Materials, Ideas, Methods
    43rd Karpacz Winter School of Theoretical Physics
    Ladek Zdrój, Poland, 5 – 11 February 2007

    edited by Janusz Jedrzejewski (University of Wrocław, Poland)

    Table of Contents (495k)
    Preface (70k)
    Dynamical Mean-Field Theory for Correlated Lattice Fermions (108k)

    This is a collection of lectures by 11 active researchers, renowned specialists in a number of modern, promising, dynamically-developing research directions in condensed matter/solid state theory. The lectures are concerned with phenomena, materials and ideas, discussing theoretical and experimental features, as well as with methods of calculation.

    Readers will find up-to-date presentations of the methods of carrying out efficient calculations for electronic systems and quantum spin systems, together with applications to describe phenomena and to design new materials. These applications include systems of quantum dots, quantum gates, semiconductor materials for spintronics, and the unusual characteristics of warm dense matter.
