Résumé

Provides a comprehensive account of the physical foundations of superconductivity and related recent developments in the field. A detailed description of the BSC theory of superconductivity is proceeded by more advanced topics and applications such as Josephson effects, hydride superconductors, and superfluidity in ultracold atoms physics.Superconductivity is among the most exciting of quantum phenomena in condensed matter physics, and has important applications across science and technology, from fusion reactors to particle accelerators. This self-contained text provides a comprehensive account of the physical foundations of superconductivity and related recent developments in the field. Beginning with a detailed description of the BSC theory of superconductivity, the book then describes the subsequent successes of this landmark theory and proceeds to more advanced topics such as Josephson effects and vortices. The strong coupling theory of superconductivity is introduced in later chapters, providing a springboard to important current research on hydride superconductors, which have displayed very high critical temperatures. Recent manifestations of superfluidity in ultracold atoms physics are also described. This book will give readers a solid grounding in the theory and applications of superconductivity, and an appreciation of its broader importance in the field of modern condensed matter physics.Preface. 1.

Index.Roland Combescot is Professor Emeritus in Physics at Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS) and Sorbonne Universite (formerly Universite Pierre et Marie Curie) in Paris, and has been a member of l'Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) since 2005. He has an outstanding research and publication record in the area of superconductivity and superfluidity, including nearly thirty articles published in the influential journal, Physical Review Letters. He has taught a course on the theory of superconductivity to MSc students at ENS for over twenty years.
