Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This textbook is designed for advanced students and practicing applied physicists and engineers, providing a comprehensive understanding of electrical transport properties in carbon-based materials. It meticulously presents the statistical mechanics of carbon nanotubes and graphene, offering fresh and thought-provoking perspectives. The text covers both second quantization and superconductivity in detail. Each chapter concludes with an extensive list of references, while derivations and proofs are included in the appendix. The authors, experienced researchers in the field, have extensively studied electrical transport in carbon nanotubes and graphene, significantly contributing to the discipline. The content reflects lectures by Prof. Fujita on quantum theory of solids and quantum statistical mechanics at the University at Buffalo, alongside topics taught by Prof. Suzuki in advanced condensed matter physics at the Tokyo University of Science. Aimed at graduate students in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and material sciences, the book assumes knowledge of dynamics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and solid-state physics at the senior undergraduate level. It also features numerous exercise-type problems to enhance learning.
