Maintaining a practical perspective, Electronic Transport Theories: From Weakly to Strongly Correlated Materials provides an integrative overview and comprehensive coverage of electronic transport with pedagogy in view. It covers traditional theories, such as the Boltzmann transport equation and the Kubo formula, along with recent theories of transport in strongly correlated materials. The understood case of electronic transport in metals is treated first, and then transport issues in strange metals are reviewed. Topics discussed are: the Drude-Lorentz theory; the traditional Bloch-Boltzmann theory and the Grüneisen formula; the Nyquist theorem and its formulation by Callen and Welton; the Kubo formalism; the Langevin equation approach; the Wölfle-Götze memory function formalism; the Kohn-Luttinger theory of transport; and some recent theories dealing with strange metals. This book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate students, post-graduate students, and researchers with a background in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and mathematical methods.

Navinder Singh is a faculty member of the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. He received a B.E. in electronics, and henceforth shifted to the field of theoretical physics. He obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore, from 2000-2006. He then obtained his post doctoral training from IOP Bhubaneswar; Holon Institute of Technology, Holon, Israel; and the University of Toronto, Canada. His research interests include electronic transport in strongly correlated systems like strange metals, and the theory of (un)conventional superconductivity.
