| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Amazing superconducting materials are one kind of substance exhibiting zero electrical resistance and magnetic exclusion at certain conditions. They can be metals, ceramics, organic materials, or heavily doped superconductors. This course will introduce the superconductivity (including discovery, phenomena, elementary properties), superconducting materials (conventional and high temperature superconductor), and applications of superconducting materials. It is intended to equip students with a basic understanding of superconductivity, characteristics of various superconductors and advantage of applications. It also aims to encourage students to do active conversation about scientific concept in English. | |||
