Theory of Fluctuations in Superconductors PDF
by Anatoly Larkin, Andrei Varlamov
Part of the International Series of Monographs on Physics series
Description
This book presents a complete encyclopedia of superconducting fluctuations, summarising the last thirty-five years of work in the field.
The first part of the book is devoted to an extended discussion of the Ginzburg-Landau phenomenology of fluctuations in its thermodynamical and time-dependent versions and its various applications.
The second part deals with microscopic justification of the Ginzburg-Landau approach and presents the diagrammatic theory offluctuations.
The third part is devoted to a less-detailed review of the manifestation of fluctuations in observables: diamagnetism, magnetoconductivity, various tunneling characteristics, thermoelectricity, and NMR relaxation.
The final chapters turn to the manifestation of fluctuations in unconventionalsuperconducting systems: nanodrops, nanorings, Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless state, quantum phase transition between superconductor and insulator, and thermal and quantum fluctuations in weak superconducting systems.
The book ends with a brief discussion on theories of high temperature superconductivity, where fluctuations appear as the possible protagonist of this exciting phenomenon.
