Synopsis
Two topics in the forefront of superconductor research--superconductor-insulator transition in thin films and vortex tunneling in granular, bulk, and high temperature superconductors--have never before been given a unified and deductive treatment. This monograph and text provides a much-needed, comprehensive introduction to the theory of quantum fluctuations in inhomogenous superconducting materials. It be will be of great use to students and researchers in disciplines such as superconductivity, many-body systems, phase transitions, submicron physics, and surface science., This monograph provides an up-to-date introduction to the theory of quantum fluctuations in inhomogeneous superconducting materials. It is suitable as a graduate text as it has grown out of the author's extensive notes from a graduate-level course several years previously. Since then, the material has been constantly updated and revised with the result that this book is the most current one on the important and wide-ranging topic of inhomogeneous superconductors., This book represents the first unified treatment of an important field of research - the theory of quantum fluctuations in inhomogeneous superconductivity materials. It can be used as a main or supplementary text in graduate courses on superconductivity, many-body systems, phase transitions, submicron physics, and surface science.
