    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This book provides a complete scientific survey of the experiments and theories of charge transport in liquid helium. The experimental outcome and the theoretical interpretation are thoroughly discussed. A vast literature is supplied for the interested reader to improve his/her knowledge of a specific topic.

    Long description:

    Electrons and ions have been used for over 40 years as probes to investigate the fascinating properties of helium liquids. The study of the transport properties of microscopic charge carriers sheds light on superfluidity, on quantum hydrodynamics, and on the interactions with collective excitations in quantum liquids. The structure of the probes themselves depends on their coupling with the liquid environment in a way that gives further insight into the microscopic behavior of the liquid in different thermodynamic conditions, such as in the superfluid phase, in the normal phase, or near the liquid-vapor critical point.
    This book provides a comprehensive review of the experiments and theories of transport properties of charge carriers in liquid helium. It is a subject about which no other monograph exists to date. The book is intended for graduate and postgraduate students and for condensed matter physicists who will benefit from its completeness and accuracy.

    The field of electrons and ions in liquid helium has reached maturity and efforts in this field will continue. This is an appropriate time for a comprehensive archival review. It will serve scholars and new workers in the field well. I approve of the organization of this book and all topics I am aware of appear to be covered.
