- Characteristic lengths (London penetration depth and coherence length).
- Free energies and field lines.
- Type I and type II superconductors.
- Abrikosov vortices.
- The Cooper attractive term and Cooper pairs.
- The superconducting proximity effect.
- The Ginzburg-Landau Phenomenological model.
- The BCS model for type-I superconductors.
- The AC and DC Josephson effects / SQUID sensors.
- Type-II high temperature superconductors.
- Gap symmetries in superconductors.
- Topological and 2D superconductivity.
- Applications.

Prerequisites (description)

There are no formal requirements for the course. However, we will employ quantum mechanical and solid state physics concepts

Course coordinators

Bruno Cury Camargo

Learning outcomes

After attending the course, the student should have an overview on the fundamentals of superconductivity, be ready to attack simple problems about superconductors, identify critical parameter in experimental data and spot indicatives of superconductivity in experiments.
