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.
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.
