""Density Waves in Solids" is written for graduate students and
scientists interested in solid-state sciences. It discusses the
theoretical and experimental state of affairs of two novel types of
broken symmetry ground states of metals, charge, and spin density
waves. These states arise as the consequence of electron-phonon and
electron-electron interactions in low-dimensional metals.Some
fundamental aspects of the one-dimensional electron gas, and of the
materials with anisotropic properties, are discussed first. This is
followed by the mean field theory of the phases
transitions--discussed using second quantized formalism--together
with the various experimental observations on the transition and on
the ground states. Fluctuation effects and the collective
excitations are reviewed next, using the Ginzburg-Landau formalism,
followed by the review of the interaction of these states with the
underlying lattice and with impurities. The final chapters are
devoted to the response of the ground states to external
perturbations.
