Show other versions (1)

Describes the theory of superconducting fluctuations, which connects two major topics in statistical physics - the theory of phase transitions and the theory of superconductivity. This book deals with microscopic justification of the Ginzburg-Landau approach and presents the diagrammatic theory of f...
