Superconducting State: Mechanisms and Properties
Vladimir Z. Kresin, Hans Morawitz, and Stuart A. Wolf
Abstract
This book provides a very detailed theoretical treatment of the key mechanisms of superconductivity. including the current state of the art (phonons, magnons, plasmons). It also includes a very complete description of the electron–phonon mechanism responsible for superconductivity in the majority of superconducting systems and the history of its development, and a detailed description of the key experimental techniques used to study the superconducting state and determine the mechanisms. In addition, the chapters describe the discovery and properties of the key superconducting compounds that a ... More
This book provides a very detailed theoretical treatment of the key mechanisms of superconductivity. including the current state of the art (phonons, magnons, plasmons). It also includes a very complete description of the electron–phonon mechanism responsible for superconductivity in the majority of superconducting systems and the history of its development, and a detailed description of the key experimental techniques used to study the superconducting state and determine the mechanisms. In addition, the chapters describe the discovery and properties of the key superconducting compounds that are of the most interest for science and applications, including a special chapter on the cuprate superconductors. Also included are detailed treatments of some very novel aspects of superconductivity, including multiple bands (gaps), the “pseudogap” state, novel isotope effects beyond BCS, and induced superconductivity.
