Bernoulli Potential in Superconductors: How the Electrostatic Field Helps to Understand Superconductivity

There are many monographs and textbooks addressing superconductivity from different angles. In spite of a large variety of explored approaches, one problem is always left aside. It is the balance of forces acting on the sup- conducting condensate. In the present book this question is central. As the title suggests, there is a close analogy between the electrostatic field in superconductors and the pressure in the ideal incompressible liquid. As one can easily imagine looking at swirling wat...
