ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First, I would like to thank my advisor, Prof. Khandker Muttalib, who has spent
extended amount of time to help me on my work toward Ph.D. Discussion with him has
given me plentiful of physical insights. I would also like to thank my collaborators, Prof.
Peter Wo¨lfle and Pavel Ostrovskii. My reserch is based on their recent studies, hence
it was impossible to do this work without them. They also gave me useful advice and
directions. I really thank my supervisory committee members, Prof. Peter Hirschfeld,
Prof. Dmitrii Maslov, Prof. Arthur Hebard and Prof. Murali Rao for spending their
valuable time in reviewing my dissertation and hearing my qualifying exam and final
defense. My thank also goes to Hridis Pal and Chungwei Wang for useful discussion on
many body theory and quantrum transport. Finally, I would like to thank the department
of physics at Universtiy of Florida and Institute of Condensed Matter Theory at Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology, Germany for providing me with a great environment to research.
