Reviews

The rich contents of the major topics of superconductors are very well organized into a small volume, and are presented nicely and concisely. The physical theories are clearly explained, with the mathematical details given as appendices of each chapter, so that the reader will not get lost in the technical details. ... this book is interesting both to students and researchers in physics and mathematics who wish to know the global picture and beauty of the theory of superconductivity. (Xingbin Pan, zbMATH 1372.82002, 2017)


Author Information

Philippe Mangin, now Emeritus Professor, is the author of 130 papers in solid state physics: amorphous materials, thin films, magnetism, neutron scattering, rare earths. He directed during four years the “Laboratoire de Physique des Matériaux” of Nancy and for four other years the “Laboratoire Leon Brillouin” in Saclay, which is the French neutron scattering facility. He spent two “one-year-periods” at the National Institute of Sciences and Technology in Gaithersburg MD (USA), became a member of various committees in the neutron scattering field, and a reviewer for many papers (PRL, PRB, etc.). Rémi Kahn, expert in neutron scattering, worked in the bosom of the “Laboratoire Léon Brillouin” for many years; he became the leader of the inelastic scattering group, then was in charge of the support groups and finally deputy-director responsible for the Orphée reactor’s experimental areas.  He authored around 100 papers in various solid state physics fields: phonons, magnetic critical transitions, vortex in superconductors, molecular dynamics in liquid and ad(ab)sorbed phases.
