Course Overview
Developed by IIT Guwahati, a Brief Course on Superconductivity training lends an introductory perspective to superconductivity. Learners will explore concepts with the experimental methods used in the study. Set at an undergraduate/postgraduate level, this study is based on Physics. Moreover, students can refer to video lectures and study references given during the course.
Spread across four weeks, the Brief Course on Superconductivity certification syllabus breaks down theories and effects responsible for superconductivity. These include the BCS, Ginzburg Landau, and Landau’s Fermi liquid theories, along with the Josephson effect. Students will also learn Josephson junctions, DC SQUID, Tc ramifications, several experimental methods, unconventional superconductivity, and cuprates.
Professor Saurabh Basu from the Physics department at IIT Guwahati instructs the Brief Course on Superconductivity programme. This elective curriculum comes with a verifiable e-certificate. Candidates must register for the proctored test and submit all four assignments included in the study. Companies based around ceramic researches and material sciences widely recognise this curriculum and hence, actively recruit its learners.
