The behaviour of matter at low temperatures is of profound
significance for the understanding of a diverse range of
fundamental physics, including important aspects of thermodynamics,
quantum mechanics, elementary particle physics and astrophysics.
There is also a growing technology based on low temperatures, which
is assuming a rapidly increasing importance. This book meets the
need for a clear and unified introduction to physics at low
temperatures and to some of these important applications.
This book is intended to provide a clear and unified introduction
to the physics of matter at low temperatures, and to do so at a
level accessible to researchers new to the field and to graduate
and senior undergraduate students. Rapid scientific progress made
over the last seven years in a number of specific areas-for
example, high-Tc superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect-has
inevitably rendered our earlier Matter at Low Temperatures somewhat
out of date. We have therefore taken the opportunity to revise and
amend the text in its entirety and, at the same time, to furnish it
with what we believe to be a more apt title, emphasizing that it is
with the physics of low temperatures that we are particularly
concerned. Like its predecessor, Low-Temperature Physics is devoted
to the fascinating and diverse phenomena that occur under
conditions of extreme cold, many of which have no analogue at all
in the everyday world at room temperature.
