Ginzburg-Landau Phase Transition Theory and Superconductivity (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph compiles, rearranges, and refines recent research results in the complex G-L theory with or without immediate applications to the theory of superconductivity. An authoritative reference for applied mathematicians, theoretical physicists and engineers interested in the quantitative description of superconductivity using Ginzburg-Landau theory.
