• Nota di contenuto: History of the Bernoulli Potential -- Basic Concepts -- Balance of Forces -- Thermodynamical Correction -- Phenomenological Description -- Non-local Corrections -- Extended Ginzburg–Landau Theory -- Quasi-neutral Limit -- Diamagnetic Current at Surface -- Surfaces -- Matching of Electrostatic Potentials at Surfaces -- Diamagnetic ; Currents Deep in the Bulk -- Electrostatic Potential Above a Surface with Vortices -- Layered Structures -- Charge Transfer in Layered Structures -- Effect of the Electrostatic Field on the Superconductor -- Outlook and Perspectives.
• Sommario/riassunto: The motion of electrons in superconductors seems to defy our imagination based on daily experience with Newtonian mechanics. This book shows that the classical concepts, such as the balance of forces acting on electrons, are useful for understanding superconductivity. The electrostatic field plays a natural part in this balance as it mediates forces between electrons at long distances. Due to its classical interpretation, the theory presented in this book is suitable for introductory courses.
