EE 484 - Superconductivity Devices and Circuits

3 cr.

A course designed for students with interest in super-conductivity.  Strong background in calculus, electromagnetics and solid-state devices is necessary.  Topics to be discussed: perfect conductivity, the classical model of superconductivity, and direct applications; the quantum model of super-conductivity, Josephson junctions and super-conducting devices (SQUIDs).  Group projects (literature search and brief presentations at the end of the term) are assigned.
