Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter targets scientists, researchers and graduate-level students focused on experimentation in the fields of physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and material sciences. Many worked-out problems are included in the book to aid the reader's comprehension of the subject. The authors show an important connection between the conduction electrons and the Fermi surface in an elementary manner in the text. No currently available text explains this connection. The currently active areas of research, high-temperature superconductivity and Quantum Hall Effect, are important subjects in conducting matter physics, and the authors plan to follow up this book with a second, more advanced book on superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect.
