Methodological Aspects of the Development of Low Temperature Physics 1881–1956 Concepts Out of Context(s)
This book is primarily about the methodological questions involved in attempts to understand two of the most peculiar phenomena in physics, both occurring at the lowest of temperatures. Superconductivity (the disappearance of electrical resistance) and superfluidity (the total absence of viscosity i...
