From the author’s introductory course at Orsay, this text explains the basic knowledge of superconductivity for both experimentalists and theoreticians. These notes begin with an elementary discussion of magnetic properties of Type I and II superconductors. The microscopic theory is then built up in the Bogoliubov language of self-consistent fields. This book provides the classic, fundamental basis for any work in superconductivity.
