| Short Title: | Supercon Elect Devices |
| Description: | A wave equation called the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation, consisting of two Schrodinger equations for the electron and time-reversed electron coupled by a 'paring potential' AE(r), is developed and used to describe electronic motion in superconductors. The first half of the course shows how the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation, combined with a scattering theory of electronic transport, is used to obtain the current-voltage and current-phase relations for various types of superconducting devices. The second half of the course is devoted to a microscopic description of superconductivity, the electron-phonon interaction, experiments that demonstrate the macroscopic phase-coherence of the superconducting state, and defects, such as vortex motion, that limit the performance of superconducting devices. Offered in alternate years. |
