5 Low dimensional quantum solids? All solids are of course quantum systems 1D and 2D quantum solids: - Mesoscopic systems with size quantization - Quantum effects already at room temperature - Correlation effects crucial: electron-hole, electron-electron, electron-phonon - Instabilities in 1D and 2D systems! Molecular carbon nanostructures are archetypical examples of perfect 1D and 2D solids
