Course Overview

Magnetism and superconductivity are considered to be the fundamental ground state of matter. By studying generic features in magnetism and superconductivity in various materials, a fundamental concept of matter can be constracted from modern scientific point of view.

Learning Achievement

(1)Understanding general properties of magnetism and superconductivity and capable of explaining about those characteristics.
(2)Understanding application of magnetism and superconductivity and capable of explaining about those characteristics.
