Course abstract

The course mainly concerns with the electrodynamic response of the conventional superconductors, both at low and high frequencies. Besides, the course aims to introduce state of the art topics like, Josephson junctions, SQUID etc. More over the course provides introduction to the modern superconducting materials, such as the High-Tc CuO2 based superconductors, Carbon based and Iron superconductors. Especially with the prospects of realizing room temperature superconductivity discovered in nanostructures by scientists at IISc Bangalore, the course will gain importance among interested audience.
