Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Series: International Series of Monographs on Physics

This is the first text on the modern theory of superconductivity. It deals with the behaviour of superconductors in external fields varying in time, and with transport phenomena in superconductors. The book starts with the fundamentals of the first-principle, microscopic theory of superconductivity, and guides the reader through the modern theoretical analysis directly to applications of the theory to practical problems. The reader of this book will learn about the methods of quantum field theory applied to nonstationary superconductivity in their most advanced formulation, namely about the so-called semi-classical version of the real-time Green's function technique applied to the celebrated Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer model of superconductivity. A considerable part of the book is devoted to vortex dynamics, dealing with the behaviour of superconductors in the most practical situation when they carry electric currents in the presence of a magnetic field.

Reviews for Theory of Nonequilibrium Superconductivity

... this is a good well-written text for professional theoretical physicists and graduate students in condensed-matter theory. Experimental physicists with an interest in theory will be able to follow parts of the book. The presentation of TDGL theory in part IV is particularly readable and constitutes a uniquely clear presentation of this topic. Contemporary Physics ... contains a unique presentation of non-equilibrium properties of superconductors, transport properties and vortex dynamics. Contemporary Physics
