Like its predecessor, this book by the renowned physicist Sir Rudolf Peierls draws from many diverse fields of theoretical physics to present problems in which the answer differs from what our intuition had led us to expect. In some cases an apparently convincing approximation turns out to be mislea
It is now established that disorder in a spin-Peierls system can result in long-range-ordered staggered moments, whose amplitudes vary spatially. In such a system two kinds of magnetic excitations are expected due to antiferromagnetic orderings and dimerization. We investigate them phenomenologicall
