| Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students have acquired basic knowledge in the physics of superconductivity with regard to theoretical and phenomenological aspects. They understand the connection between basic and applied science and know methods of attaining new perceptions. Additionally the module supports presentation skills and further competences as accurateness, endurance and curiosity. |
| Contents: | - Experimental and theoretical foundations of superconductivity, phenomenological description: London and Ginzburg-Landau theories, Superconductors in a magnetic field, Josephson effects.
- Microscopic description: pairing mechanism, Cooper problem, BCS theory, tunneling effects.
- New developments: high Tc superconductivity.
