This 1998 book describes the physics of superconductivity and
superfluidity, macroscopic quantum phenomena found in many
conductors at low temperatures and in liquid helium 4 and helium 3.
In the first part of the book the author presents the mean field
theory of generalized pair condensation. This is followed by a
description of the properties of ordinary superconductors using BCS
theory. The book then proceeds with expositions of strong coupling
theory and the Ginzberg-Landau theory. The remarkable properties of
superfluid helium 3 are then described, as an example of a
superfluid with internal degrees of freedom. The topics covered are
dealt with in a coherent manner, with all necessary theoretical
background given. Recent topics in the field, such as the
copper-oxide high temperature superconductors and exotic
superconductivity of heavy fermion systems are discussed in the
final chapter. This book will be of interest to graduate students
and researchers in condensed matter physics, especially those
working in superconductivity and superfluidity.
