Nonequilibrium Electrons and Phonons in Superconductors: Selected Topics in Superconductivity / Edition 1

by Armen M. Gulian, Gely F. Zharkov

Overview

This book introduces the main concepts of nonequilibrium phenomena in superconductors. The authors cover both experimentally well-understood topics and problems which physicists could challenge more in view of current theoretical understanding. Some of these topics include thermoelectric phenomena, influence of laser radiation as well as fluctuations in superconductors.
