Electron Liquids

The study of electronic properties reveals a common basis for a variety of systems, including gaseous plasmas, ionic solutions, metals, and semiconductors. Electron Liquids discusses newly discovered unusal electronic phenomena, with an emphasis on electron correlations. This second edition has been enlarged to account to the significant developments in the study of electron systems that have taken place since the publication of the first edition, especially in the areas of high-Tc superconductivity and the quantized Hall effect. These developments and also the subjects of crystallization and the stability of matter are now included.
