Low dimensional condensed matter systems and the renormalization group

by Fu, Henry Chien, PhD, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, 2006, 0 pages; 3254293

Abstract: The renormalization group is one of the most important concepts to be introduced to physics in the last half-century. It has allowed us to begin to understand how matter can take so many different forms and phases with such widely different properties. In many cases it also provides a calculational method by which one can understand the phase structure and behavior of theoretical model systems. In this thesis, the renormalization group is used to understand a number of one- and two-dimensional condensed matter model systems. These systems are applicable for understanding features of the high-temperature superconducting Cuprate materials as well as quasi-one-dimensional wires.
