Course Description PHY6937
is a one semester advanced graduate level course. Its aim is to introduce
concepts and theoretical techniques for the description of superconductors
and superfluids. This course is a natural
continuation of the "many-body" course PHY5670 and will build on the
logical framework introduced therein, i.e. broken symmetry and adiabatic
continuity. The course aims to cover a range of topics, such as the
connection between the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau
and the microscopic BCS theory, Migdal-Eliashberg
treatment of phonon mediated superconductivity, unconventional
superconductivity, superfluidity in He-4 and He-3,
and Kosterlitz-Thouless theory of two dimensional superfluids. |
