Magnetism and superconductivity /

Show other versions (1)

This work presents a modern vision of magnetism and superconductivity which covers both microscopic and phenomenological aspects. The basic information is illustrated with the help of current research topics such as the quantum Hall effect or mesoscopic aspects of superconductivity. The author syste...
