Summary:

This book is devoted to the description of Bosonic and Fermionic systems: metallic clusters; quantum dots, wires, rings and molecules; trapped Fermi and Bose atoms; liquid drops of Helium; electron gas in different dimensions and geometries with and without magnetic fields. Extensively updated with 200 extra pages, the new edition of this successful book includes the field's cutting-edge areas: spin-orbit coupling in heterostructures and spintronics; the conductivity problem: conductivity of quantum wires, magnetoconductivity of nanostructures, spin-Hall conductivity; atomic Fermi gases in traps; non-collinear local spin density approximation calculations; and Brueckner Hartree Fock in finite size systems.

Contents:

• The independent-particle model
• The Hartree-Fock theory
• The Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory
• The density functional theory
• The confined 2D electron gas in a magnetic field
• Spin-orbit coupling in the confined 2D electron gas
• Monte Carlo methods
• The linear response function theory
• The linear response function in different models
• Dynamic correlations and the response function
• The hydrodynamic and elastic models.
