Download or read book Collected Papers of L D Landau written by D. Ter Haar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 859 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected Papers of L. D. Landau brings together the collected papers of L. D. Landau in the field of physics. The discussion is divided into the following sections: low-temperature physics (including superconductivity); solid-state physics; plasma physics; hydrodynamics; astrophysics; nuclear physics and cosmic rays; quantum mechanics; quantum field theory; and miscellaneous works. Topics covered include the intermediate state of supraconductors; the absorption of sound in solids; the properties of metals at very low temperatures; and production of showers by heavy particles. This volume is comprised of 100 chapters and begins with Landau's paper on the theory of the spectra of diatomic molecules, followed by his studies on the damping problem in wave mechanics; quantum electrodynamics in configuration space; electron motion in crystal lattices; and the internal temperature of stars. Some of Landau's theories, such as those of stars, energy transfer on collisions, phase transitions, and specific heat anomalies are discussed. Subsequent chapters focus on the structure of the undisplaced scattering line; the transport equation in the case of Coulomb interactions; scattering of light by light; and the origin of stellar energy. This book will be a valuable resource for physicists as well as physics students and researchers.
Download or read book Connectivity and Superconductivity written by Jorge Berger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motto of connectivity and superconductivity is that the solutions of the Ginzburg–Landau equations are qualitatively in?uenced by the topology of the boundaries. Special attention is given to the “zero set”,the set of the positions (usually known as “quantum vortices”) where the order parameter vanishes. The paradigm of connectivity and superconductivity is the Little– Parks e?ect,discussed in most textbooks on superconductivity. This volume is intended to serve as a reference book for graduate students and researchers in physics or mathematics interested in superconductivity, or in the Schr ̈ odinger equation as a limiting case of the Ginzburg–Landau equations. The e?ects considered here usually become important in the regime where the coherence length is of the order of the dimensions of the sample. While in the Little–Parks days a lot of ingenuity was required to achieve this regime, present microelectronic techniques have transformed it into a routine. Mo- over,measurement and visualization techniques are developing at a pace which makes it reasonable to expect veri?cation of distributions,and not only of global properties. Activity in the ?eld has grown and diversi?ed substantially in recent years. We have therefore invited experts ranging from experimental and theoretical physicists to pure and applied mathematicians to contribute articles for this book. While the skeleton of the book deals with superconductivity,micron- works and generalizations of the Little–Parks situation,there are also articles which deal with applications of the Ginzburg–Landau formalism to several fundamental topics,such as quantum coherence,cosmology,and questions in materials science.
Download or read book Introduction to Unconventional Superconductivity written by V.P. Mineev and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-09-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional superconductivity (or superconductivity with a nontrivial Cooper pairing) is believed to exist in many heavy-fermion materials as well as in high temperature superconductors, and is a subject of great theoretical and experimental interest. The remarkable progress achieved in this field has not been reflected in published monographs and textbooks, and there is a gap between current research and the standard education of solid state physicists in the theory of superconductivity. This book is intended to meet this information need and includes the authors' original results.
Download or read book Theory of Fluctuations in Superconductors written by Anatoly Larkin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 of fluctuations. 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 unconventional superconducting 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In truth, it is not knowledge, but learning, not possessing, but production, not being there, but travelling there, which provides the greatest pleasure. When I have completely understood something, then I turn away and move on into the dark; indeed, so curious is the insatiable man, that when he has completed one house, rather than living in it peacefully, he starts to build another. " Letter from C. F. Gauss to W. Bolyai on Sept. 2, 1808 This textbook adds a book devoted to applied mathematics to the series "Grundwissen Mathematik. " Our goals, like those of the other books in the series, are to explain connections and common viewpoints between various mathematical areas, to emphasize the motivation for studying certain prob lem areas, and to present the historical development of our subject. Our aim in this book is to discuss some of the central problems which arise in applications of mathematics, to develop constructive methods for the numerical solution of these problems, and to study the associated questions of accuracy. In doing so, we also present some theoretical results needed for our development, especially when they involve material which is beyond the scope of the usual beginning courses in calculus and linear algebra. This book is based on lectures given over many years at the Universities of Freiburg, Munich, Berlin and Augsburg.

Download or read book Some Mathematical Problems in the Ginzburg Landau Theory of Superconductivity written by Stephen J. Gustafson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In agreement with the Landau theory of phase transitions, a superconductor is described macroscopically by the Ginzburg-Landau equations (1950). These are nonlinear partial differential equations for a complex-valued function, y (the order parameter), and a vector-field 'A' (the vector potential). The equations contain a parameter, [lambda], which determines whether they describe a superconductor of the first kind ([lambda] 1), or of the second kind ([lambda] 1). It was observed by Abrikosov (1957) that a highly-symmetric family of solutions known as 'n'-vortices plays a central role in the theory. These solutions are classified by their integer topological degree, nZ . The principal goal of this thesis is to establish the stability properties of the 'n'-vortex. The stability question is studied for three types of evolution equations: a gradient flow, a nonlinear wave equation, and a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Our main result determines the dependence of the stability of 'n'-vortices on the topological degree, 'n', and on the parameter, [lambda]. Specifically, we prove that for [lambda] 1, all vortices are stable, while for [lambda] 1, 'n'-vortices are stable if 'n' = ±1 and unstable if @'n'@ >= 2. Previous work on vortex stability (Taubes (1980), Stuart (1994)) has focused on the special case [lambda] = 1, in which the Ginzburg-Landau equations reduce to the first-order Bogomolnyi equations. In particular, our result resolves a long-standing conjecture, first rigorously formulated by Jaffe and Taubes (1980).
