Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) This course is aimed to be an introductory course to superconductivity, laying the phenomenological and formal foundations over which the subject can be further explored. During classes, we will explore the fundamental aspects from superconductivity, get familiarized with phenomenological and microscopic models, peek into current theories, historical and latest advancements in the field. |
