This graduate lecture course provides the theory of a fascinating phenomenon of superconductivity. Using simple and rigorous arguments the course allows a beginner to get prepared to the present-day research in condensed matter physics and nanotechnology, for which understanding superconductivity is indispensable. The knowledge of basic principles of quantum mechanics is required.
The course includes:
- The Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity.
- Normal-superconducting interfaces.
- Josephson and tunneling phenomena, weak links.
- Superconducting nanostructures.
- Introduction to unconventional and topological superconductivity.
Weekly exercises. Written exam.There is no exercise session on the first week (Jan 8). The course starts with the introductory lecture on January 9.
