商品簡介
The authors, physicists at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, introduce the reader to the ideas, methods, and results available in the theory of critical phenomena in systems with confined geometry. The existence of universal features of the finite-size effects arising due to highly correlated classical or quantum fluctuations is explained by the finite-size scaling theory. Requiring only a background in standard courses on the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, this volume presents simple models, both classical and quantum, to demonstrate the derivation of rigorous and exact analytical results.
