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.

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.
The purpose of this paper to explore the theory of high
temperature superconductivity. The main focus is on the core theoretical issues
associated with the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity more
generally.
