High Tc Superconductors Electronic structure

Superconductivity Theory and Applications

Superconductivity was discovered 1911 by Kamerlingh Onnes. During the last century, the history of superconductivity has been full of theoretical challenges and practical developments.This book contains 15 chapters reporting interesting researches about theoretical and experimental aspects of superconductivity.The chapters include: Room Temperature Superconductivity, Unconventional Superconductivity , Coherent Current States in Two-Band Superconductors, Nonlinear Response of the Static and Dynamic Phases of the Vortex Matter, Energy Dissipation Minimization in Superconducting Circuits, Electronic Transport in an NS System with a Pure Normal Channel - Coherent and Spin-Dependent Effects, Effects of Impurities on a Noncentrosymmetric Superconductor - Application to CePt3Si, Foundations of Meissner Superconductor Magnet Mechanisms Engineering, Properties of Macroscopic Quantum Effects and Dynamic Natures of Electrons in Superconductors, FFLO and Vortex States in Superconductors with Strong Paramagnetic Effect, Development of Josephson Voltage Standards, Critical State Analysis Using Continuous Reading SQUID Magnetometer, Current Status and Technological Limitations of Hybrid Superconducting-normal Single Electron Transistors, Photonic Band Structure and Transmittance of the Superconductor Photonic Crystal, Electrodynamics of High Pinning Superconductors.

Fluctuation Phenomena in Superconductors

The first five sections deals with the direct fluctuation pair contributions. The indirect fluctuation effects are discussed in the last two sections, devoted to the microscopic justification of the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, the description of the microscopic theory of fluctuations, and discussion of their manifestations in various physical properties of superconductors.
