The book
includes 17 chapters written by noted scientists and young researchers and
dealing with various aspects of superconductivity, both theoretical and
experimental. Topics covered includes: Field-Induced Superconductors, X-Ray
Spectroscopy Studies of Iron Chalcogenides, Defect Structure Versus
Superconductivity in MeB2 Compounds and One-Dimensional Superconductors,
Superconducting Magnet Technology and Applications, Pseudogap and Local Pairs in
High-Tc Superconductors, Magnetic Texturing of High-Tc Superconductors.
This
note will concentrate on modern aspects of superconductivity. Topics covered
includes: Phenomenology of High Tc Cuprates, Symmetry Aspects of Unconventional
Superconductivity, Symmetry Aspects of Unconventional Superconductivity,
Fundamentals and Applications of ARPES, Superconducting Qubits, Modern Aspects
of Superconductivity, Superconductors Near the Mott Transition, Neutron and
X-Ray Scattering Studies of Superconductors, Magnetism and Superconductivity,
Theory of Superconductivity, Iron-Based Superconductors, Optical Properties of
Superconductors, Topological Superconductivity.
This note
explains the following topics: Phenomenological Theories of Superconductivity,
Applications of Ginzburg-Landau Theory, Response, Resonance, and the Electron
Gas, Screening and Dielectric Response, BCS Theory of Superconductivity,
Applications of BCS Theory.
These lectures
are an introduction to those superconductors, all discovered since the 1970s,
which do not appear to be well described by the traditional BCS theory. Topics
covered includes: Reminders of the BCS theory, Superfluid 3 He: basic
description, Definition and diagnostics of exotic superconductivity, Non-cuprate
exotic superconductivity, Cuprates: generalities, and normal state properties,
Exotic superconductivity.
The
course note begins with a description of the changes in the properties of metals
on becoming superconducting. The thermodynamics of the associated phase
transition is then elucidated.
