Abstract

This course has a dual purpose. First we review the successes of the weak-coupling BCS theory in describing new classes of superconductors discovered since 1979. They include the heavy-fermion superconductors, organic superconductors, high-T_c cuprate superconductors, Sr ₂RuO₄ etc. Second, we present the quasiclassical approximation introduced by Volovik, which we extend to describe the thermodynamics and the thermal conductivity of the vortex state in nodal superconductors. This approach provides the most powerful tool in identifying the symmetry of the energy gap function Δ(k) in these new superconductors.
