Course description (課程目標)
This is a course to introduce physics of superconductivity.
It is expected for students who have made sure that he/she
will do research in
in condensed matter physics in master or Ph. D degree will attend this class. The course will cover all aspects of superconductivity that
is required to perform research on superconductivity.
