Summary

Presents an integrated theory of the characterizing phonon, roton, paramagnons, density, spin density excitations in quantum systems and how these are observed in neutron scattering measurements. The common features of liquid 4He, liquid 3He and solid helium are emphasized.

Excitations in Liquid and Solid Helium Summary

Excitations in Liquid and Solid Helium by Henry R. Glyde (Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, USA)

Liquid 4He and 3He are the purest Brose and Fermi liquids currently available in nature. Understanding the dynamics and excitations of those quantum systems is a fundamental issue of science and a guide for more complex matter. The book develops the theory of zero sound, phonons, rotons, spin and single particle excitations in quantum solids and fluids in an historical context. The book brings the theory up to date in modern language with similarities between quantum solids and fluids drawn wherever possible. A survey of recent neutron scattering data in each system is presented. A critical comparison of theory and recent data provides a comprehensive assessment of our current understanding of collective and single particle excitations in quantum liquids and solids.

Excitations in Liquid and Solid Helium Reviews

a fine addition to the literature. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone seriously interested in understanding the theory of excitations in quantum fluids and solids. ... This is a fine book. I highly recommend it to those who are entering the field, those who want a tutorial on the subjects covered and those who want a guide to the relevant literature. * Robert Hallock, Physics Today, August 1996. *
