Pollak M., Efros A.L. Electron - Electron Interactions in Disordered Systems

Amsterdam: North-Holland Physics Publishing, 1985. — 699 p.Modern Problems in Condensed Matter Sciences is a series of contributed volumes and monographs on condensed matter science that is published by North-Holland Publishing Company. This vast area of physics is developing rapidly at the present time, and the numerous fundamental results in it define to a significant degree the face of contemporary science. This being so, it is clear that the most important results and directions for future developments can only be covered by an international group of authors working in cooperation.
Both Soviet and Western scholars are taking part in the series, and each contributed volume has, correspondingly, two editors. Furthermore, it is intended that the volumes in the series will be published subsequently in Russian by the publishing house Nauka.
The idea for the series and for its present structure was born during discussions that took place in the USSR and the USA between the former President of North-Holland Publishing Company, Drs. W.H. Wimmers, and the General Editors.
The establishment of this series of books, which should become a distinguished encyclopedia of condensed matter science, is not the only important outcome of these discussions. A significant development is also the emergence of a rather interesting and fruitful form of collaboration among scholars from different countries. We are deeply convinced that such international collaboration in the spheres of science and art, as well as other socially useful spheres of human activity, will assist in the establishment of a climate of confidence and peace.
