Superconductivity was discovered 1911 by Kamerlingh Onnes.
During the last century, the history of superconductivity has been full of
theoretical challenges and practical developments.This book contains 15
chapters reporting interesting researches about theoretical and experimental
aspects of superconductivity.The chapters include: Room Temperature
Superconductivity, Unconventional Superconductivity , Coherent Current States in
Two-Band Superconductors, Nonlinear Response of the Static and Dynamic
Phases of the Vortex Matter, Energy Dissipation Minimization in
Superconducting Circuits, Electronic Transport in an NS System with a Pure
Normal Channel - Coherent and Spin-Dependent Effects, Effects of Impurities
on a Noncentrosymmetric Superconductor - Application to CePt3Si, Foundations
of Meissner Superconductor Magnet Mechanisms Engineering, Properties of
Macroscopic Quantum Effects and Dynamic Natures of Electrons in
Superconductors, FFLO and Vortex States in Superconductors with Strong
Paramagnetic Effect, Development of Josephson Voltage Standards, Critical
State Analysis Using Continuous Reading SQUID Magnetometer, Current Status
and Technological Limitations of Hybrid Superconducting-normal Single
Electron Transistors, Photonic Band Structure and Transmittance of the
Superconductor Photonic Crystal, Electrodynamics of High Pinning
Superconductors.

The book
includes 17 chapters written by noted scientists and young researchers and
dealing with various aspects of superconductivity, both theoretical and
experimental. Topics covered includes: Field-Induced Superconductors, X-Ray
Spectroscopy Studies of Iron Chalcogenides, Defect Structure Versus
Superconductivity in MeB2 Compounds and One-Dimensional Superconductors,
Superconducting Magnet Technology and Applications, Pseudogap and Local Pairs in
High-Tc Superconductors, Magnetic Texturing of High-Tc Superconductors.
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.
