This book provides a theoretical, step-by-step comprehensive explanation of superconductivity for undergraduate and graduate students who have completed elementary courses on thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. To this end, it adopts the unique approach of starting with the statistical mechanics of quantum ideal gases and successively adding and clarifying elements and techniques indispensi…
The purpose of this book is to present the fundamentals of the theory of superconductivity in a self-contained manner by developing and illustrating every required technique of advanced equilibrium statistical mechanics. It is addressed to graduate and undergraduate students who have finished elementary courses of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. No further background knowledge is req…
