Bernoulli Potential in Superconductors How the Electrostatic Field Helps to Understand Superconductivity

The motion of electrons in superconductors seems to defy our imagination based on daily experience with Newtonian mechanics. This book shows that the classical concepts, such as the balance of forces acting on electrons, are useful for understanding superconductivity. The electrostatic field plays a...
