This course is an introduction to magnetism and superconductivity. It starts with the basic macroscopic and microscopic theories of both phenomena which are then illustrates them with topics of current research in the respective fields such as quantum magnetism or high temperature superconductivity. 6 lectures will be devoted for each subject. They will be accompanied with homework and problem solving sessions.
Part 1: Magnetism
A) Non-interacting magnetism
B) Interacting magnetism
C) Heisenberg model and excitations
D) Introduction to quantum magnetism
Part 2: Superconductivity
A) A history of superconductivity : 1911-2011
B) Selected experiments on conventional and high-temperature superconductors (transport, reflectivity, inelastic light scattering, neutron scattering, tunneling, angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy).
C) Phenomenological approach
D) The BCS theory
E) Conventional superconductors versus high-Tc superconductors
