New Trends in Superconductivity contains up-to-date papers covering the most exciting current topics in superconductivity research. The main areas include cuprate superconductivity, covering mechanisms, pairing symmetry, pseudogap, stripes, growth and synthesis; novel superconductors, including MgB2, Sr2RuO4, borocarbides and C60-based systems; and mesoscopic superconductors and vortex matter, including vortex structure, type II superconductors, macroscopic quantum coherence and qubit devices and multilayer systems.

A useful, up-to-date reference of current research in all of these rapidly developing fields of superconductivity.

Das Buch behandelt drei physikalische Phanomene: die Bose-Einstein-Kondensation, Suprafluiditat und Supraleitung, wobei es in die wesentlichen Konzepte und notwendigen mathematischen Formalismen schrittweise einfuhrt."

This text introduces the key concepts of superconductivity, superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensates, three extremely important and rapidly developing fields of research which are closely related intellectually, in spite of their very different physical systems. The topics are developed alongside the necessary mathematical tools and no previous knowledge of quantum many-body theory is necessary.
