商品簡介
Named for its developers John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and Robert Schrieffer, the BCS theory of superconductivity was unveiled in 1957, sparking research that continues to present. Here physicists trace the history of the theory, then consider it today in terms of fluctuations, tunneling, and disorder; new superconductors; and BCS beyond superconductivity. Among the topics are nuclear magnetic resonance, from electron interaction to nuclear superfluidity, resistance in superconductors, novel phases of vortices, predicting and explaining Tc and other properties of BCS superconductors, a theory perspective on the evolution of high-temperature superconductivity, superfluidity in a gas of strongly interacting fermions, and BCS from nuclei and neutron stars to quark matter and cold atoms.
