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 and mathematical framework introduced therein. The course will cover
a range of topics, such as the connection between the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau and the microscpic
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. |
