{"product_id":"berry-phases-in-electronic-structure-david-vanderbilt-9781107157651","title":"Berry Phases in Electronic Structure Theory: Electric Polarization, Orbital Magnetization and Topological Insulators","description":"Over the past twenty-five years, mathematical concepts associated with geometric phases have come to occupy a central place in our modern understanding of the physics of electrons in solids. These 'Berry phases' describe the global phase acquired by a quantum state as the Hamiltonian is changed. Beginning at an elementary level, this book provides a pedagogical introduction to the important role of Berry phases and curvatures, and outlines their great influence upon many key properties of electrons in solids, including electric polarization, anomalous Hall conductivity, and the nature of the topological insulating state. It focuses on drawing connections between physical concepts and provides a solid framework for their integration, enabling researchers and students to explore and develop links to related fields. Computational examples and exercises throughout provide an added dimension to the book, giving readers the opportunity to explore the central concepts in a practical and engaging way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Vanderbilt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110715765X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107157651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.50w x 0.80d","brand":"David Vanderbilt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994195820799,"sku":"9781107157651","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_052ae6a9-6fb4-43d6-9ea5-d5b841c29a49.jpg?v=1683328695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/berry-phases-in-electronic-structure-david-vanderbilt-9781107157651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
