This note covers the following topics: Effective theory at the Fermi
surface, The gap equation, The role of the broken gauge symmetry, Color
superconductivity, Effective lagrangians, NGB and their parameters, The
dispersion law for the gluons, Quark masses and the gap equation, LOFF phase and
Astrophysical implications.
This note will introduce the theory,
design, field quality measurements and analysis of superconducting accelerator
magnets. New type of magnet designs for future magnets will also be introduced.

This note provides a
phenomenological approach to superconductivity, with emphasis on superconducting
electronics. Topics covered include: electrodynamics of superconductors,
London's model, flux quantization, Josephson Junctions, superconducting quantum
devices, equivalent circuits, high-speed superconducting electronics, and
quantized circuits for quantum computing.
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.
