| Supersymmetry in Disorder and Chaos |

Konstantin Efetov |
The development of the supersymmetry technique has led to significant advances in the study of disordered
metals and semiconductors. The technique has proved to be of great use in the analysis of modern mesoscopic
quantum devices, but is also finding applications in a broad range of other topics, such as localisation and
quantum chaos. This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of the ideas and uses of supersymmetry.
The first four chapters of the book set out the basic results and some straightforward applications of the
technique. Thereafter, a range of topics is covered in detail, including random matrix theory, persistent
currents in mesoscopic rings, transport in mesoscopic devices, localisation in quantum wires and films, and
the quantum Hall effect. Each topic is covered in a self-contained manner, and the book will be of great interest
to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics and quantum chaos.

A summary of recent developments in theoretical and experimental studies of
fluctuation effects in itinerant electron magnets, focusing on novel physical
phenomena: soft-mode spin fluctuations and zero-point effects, strong spin
anharmonicity, magnetic frustrations in metals, fluctuation effects in Invar
alloys and low-dimensional systems. All of these may be important for novel
high-technology applications.

This textbook on the quantum Hall effect was conceived and written by four scientists who have long
been active in the area. Not intended as an exhaustive survey, it covers subjects which have turned
out to have had a significant and lasting impact on our understanding of the quantum Hall effect.
The first part systematically explores the problem of localization in strong magnetic fields, while the second part briefly describes promising fields of theoretical research. The various chapters present partial solutions, in order of increasing complexity, tothe fundamental localization problem 'How does a system manage to behave as a perfect conductor and as a perfect insulator?'. Experimental and theoretical physicists, graduate students as well as experts in transport theory will discover new aspects and interesting perspectives on magnetotransport. Chapter Contents 1. Introduction 2. Basic Facts 3. Quantum Hall Effect for Pedestrians 4. Linear Response 5. Phenomenology of Global Conductivities 6. localisation in High Landau Bands 7. Averaging Green Functions 8. Localization in the Lowest Landau Level 9. General Aspects of Critical Phenomena 10. Finite Size Scaling 11. The Localization Length Exponent 12.

| Fluctuations and Localization in Mesoscopic Electron Systems |

The quantum phenomena of tunneling and interference show up not only in the microscopic world of atoms and molecules, but
also in cold materials of the real world, such as metals and semiconductors. Though not fully macroscopic,
such mesoscopic systems contain a huge number of particles, and the holistic nature of quantum mechanics becomes evident
already in simple electronic measurements. The measured quantity fluctuates as a function of applied
fields in an unpredictable, yet reproducible way. Despite this fingerprint character of fluctuations, their statistical
properties are universal, i.e. they are the same for a large class of different mesoscopic systems, having only very few
parameters in common. Localization of electrons is a dramatic effect of destructive interference. As a consequence a metal can
become an insulator while reaching mesoscopic scales.
Based on elementary quantum and statistical physics, this text introduces the theory of mesoscopic electron systems. It focuses on universal characteristics of fluctuations and on the localization mechanism. General concepts and methods are stressed, such as scaling laws for distribution functions. Tools from condensed matter theory are used flexibly. Involved technical details are skipped so as to present a broad overview of the field, including topics like quantum dots, the quantum Hall effect and a number of the most recent developments.
