Objectives The objectives of this lecture on Superconductivity and Low-temperature Physics are: (1) introduction to the field of cryogenics, i.e. how to achieve low and ultralow temperatures by different physical methods; (2) introduction to superconductivity, a phenomenon which is observed with many different materials at low temperature; (3) introduction to superconducting materials and their technical applications.
Subject The contents of this lecture includes these topics:

  1. Motivation and relevance
  2. Cryogenics: Methods for the cooling to low and ultralow temperature
  3. Introduction to superconductivity and phenomenology
  4. Macroscopic models (London, Ginzburg-Landau)
  5. Microscopic theory of superconductivity in low-Tc materials
  6. Magnetic properties and tunneling effects in superconductors
  7. Structure and properties of high-Tc superconductors
  8. Preparation of high-Tc superconductors (ceramics, thin films)
  9. Applications
  10. New trends: superconducting nano-materials, electronics, …
