Superconductivity Of Metals And Alloys / P.G. De Gennes.

Superconductivity Of Metals And Alloys /

Drawn from the author's introductory course at the University of Orsay, Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys is intended to explain the basic knowledge of superconductivity for both experimentalists and theoreticians. These notes begin with an elementary discussion of magnetic properties of T...
