Superconductivity - IMPRS-UFAST focus course

IMPRS-UFAST focus course

Start: Nov 20, 2017 02:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
End: Nov 24, 2017 05:30 PM
Speaker: Michael Sentef
Location: CFEL (Bldg. 99)
Room: Seminar Room V, O1.109
Host: IMPRS-UFAST

This course covers the basic phenomenology and microscopic theory of superconductivity: - definition of superconductors and their thermodynamics - microscopic BCS theory: electron-phonon interaction, Fröhlich Hamiltonian, Cooper instability, mean-field theory, Bogoliubons

Possible additional topics, depending on audience’s interests:

- Josephson effects

- strong-coupling theory (Migdal-Eliashberg-Gor’kov theory) - requires basic knowledge of Feynman diagrams

- high-temperature superconductors
