Bernoulli Potential in Superconductors

As one can easily imagine looking at swirling water, molecules of the inc- pressible liquid are accelerated by gradients of the pressure so that they can follow complicated trajectories often changing their directions and velocities. 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 natural part in this balance as it mediates forces between electrons at long distances. Due to its classical interpretation, the theory presented in this book is suitable for introductory courses.
