Superconductivity, superfluids and condensates.

Author(s) : ANNETT J. F.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book, published in the "Oxford Master Series in condensed Matter Physics", provides a clear and concise introduction of the key concepts of superconductivity, superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensates, three extremely important and rapidly developing fields of research which are closely related intellectually, in spite of their very different physical systems. The topics are developed alongside the necessary mathematical tools. The book is primarily intended for use by final year undergraduates and beginning postgraduates. Extract from the table of contents: Bose-Einstein condensates; superfluid helium 4; superconductivity; the Ginzburg-Landau model; the macroscopic coherent state; the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity; superfluid helium 3 and unconventional superconductivity; solutions and hints to selected exercises and bibliography.
