Superconductivity and Superfluidity
Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... well organized and crisp ... The book should be useful to graduate students and those who have had some exposure to field-theoretic and diagrammatic methods.' Nature
'Tsuneto's book is a beautiful presentation of this subject useful for both graduate students and researchers.' P. Komarek, Cryogenics
Book Description
This graduate-level text describes the physics of superconductivity and superfluidity, macroscopic quantum phenomena found in many conductors at low temperatures and in liquid helium 4 and helium 3. In the first part of the book the author presents the mean field theory of generalized pair condensation. This is followed by a description of the properties of ordinary superconductors using BCS theory. The book then proceeds with expositions of strong coupling theory and the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The remarkable properties of superfluid helium 3 are then described, as an example of a superfluid with internal degrees of freedom. Recent topics in the field, such as the copper-oxide high temperature superconductors and exotic superconductivity of heavy fermion systems are discussed in the final chapter. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, especially those working in superconductivity and superfluidity.
