Superconductivity of Metals and Cuprates by J.R. Waldram is an English-language textbook on the fundamental physics of metals and cuprates. It covers both theory and experiment and is intended for students in higher education.
The book addresses the basic principles of superconductivity, with attention to the Ginzburg-Landau equations, boundary energy, Green's function methods, and spectroscopy. The text is clear and accessible without unnecessarily complicated theories, making it suitable for senior undergraduate students.
This edition builds on fields such as condensed matter, electricity and magnetism and offers a practical overview that can be used in both the bachelor and master stages.
Superconductivity of Metals and Cuprates covers the basic physics of superconductivity and is therefore a valuable resource for teaching and for an introduction within this specialty.
