Synopsis
The phenomenon of superconductivity, zero
resistance, perfect diamagnetism, Meissner effect, energy gap, isotope effect,
thermodynamic transition, London’s equation, coherence length, Landau theory,
Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, flux quantization, type-I and type-II
superconductors, vortex state, tunnelling of single particle and Josephson
tunnelling (AC and DC). Copper oxide
base high temperature superconductors: yttrium, bismuth, thallium and mercury
systems. Material and preparation methods, elastic, optical, thermal and
electronic properties, phase diagram and critical current density. Technology and applications; sensors, tapes
and conductors, energy storage, current limiter, motor, transformer, magnetic
resonance imaging and filter.
Objective
At
the end of this course students should be able to understand the basic
properties of superconductors and the applications.
