Spectral Methods in Surface Superconductivity

Download or read book Spectral Methods in Surface Superconductivity written by Søren Fournais and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in detail the nonlinear Ginzburg–Landau functional, the model most commonly used in the study of superconductivity. Specifically covered are cases in the presence of a strong magnetic field and with a sufficiently large Ginzburg–Landau parameter kappa. Spectral Methods in Surface Superconductivity is intended for students and researchers with a graduate-level understanding of functional analysis, spectral theory, and the analysis of partial differential equations. The book also includes an overview of all nonstandard material as well as important semi-classical techniques in spectral theory that are involved in the nonlinear study of superconductivity.
