About The Book
The second edition of Michael Tinkham’s "Introduction to Superconductivity" is an essential text for graduate students and experimental physicists interested in the field of superconductivity. Known for its accessibility and practical approach, this classic volume emphasizes physical arguments while minimizing theoretical formalism, making complex topics more approachable for a wide range of readers.

The revised edition features an updated introductory survey of the latest developments in classical superconductivity, which significantly enhances the book's value as a reference for researchers in the field. Beginning with a historical overview, the book introduces the electrodynamics of superconductors, before moving into detailed discussions on the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory and the Ginzburg-Landau theory, two cornerstone concepts in superconductivity.

Further topics explored in the text include the magnetic properties of classical type II superconductors, the Josephson effect, fluctuation effects in classical superconductors, and high-temperature superconductivity. Special topics, such as the Bogoliubov method, magnetic perturbations, gapless superconductivity, time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, and nonequilibrium superconductivity, are also covered, providing a thorough and well-rounded understanding of both traditional and modern aspects of superconductivity.
