The Concept of Correlated Density and Its Application

Abstract

The correlated density appears in many physical systems ranging from dense interacting gases up to Fermi liquids which develop a coherent state at low temperatures, the superconductivity. One consequence of the correlated density is the Bernoulli potential in superconductors which compensates forces from dielectric currents. This Bernoulli potential allows to access material parameters. Though within the surface potential these contributions are largely canceled, the bulk measurements with NMR can access this potential. Recent experiments are explained and new ones suggested. The underlying quantum statistical theory in nonequilibrium is the nonlocal kinetic theory developed earlier.
