REQUIRED TEXT:
Foundations of Applied Superconductivity
T. P. Orlando and K. A. Delin, Addison-Wesley, 1991
This text is required. However, the book just recently went out of
print. New copies can be ordered from Barnes and Noble (barnesandnoble.com)
and used copies from Amazon (amazon.com).
Problem Sets:
All homework sets are due at the beginining of class on the assigned due
date. You may work together on the problem sets but you are required to
write up your own solution and code.
Students will make oral presentations on the homework.
Report:
A report of about 15 typed-written pages on some topic
in applied superconductivity is required. This report should be
concise and include the following: (a) use of some material from this
course, (b) a review of current literature on the topic,
(c) assessment of the impact of the high-temperature superconductors
on the topic, and (d) a critical review of alternate technologies.
The timetable for the report is as follows:
October 7, 2003: Topic chosen and some references.
November 13, 2003: Outline of report, including references.
December 4, 2003: Report due.
