Methodological Aspects of the Development of Low Temperature Physics 1881-1956: Concepts Out of Context(s)

by Yorgos Goudaroulis and Kostas Gavroglu

This book is primarily about the methodological questions involved in attempts to understand two of the most peculiar phenomena in physics, both occurring at the lowest of temperatures. Superconductivity (the disappearance of electrical resistance) and superfluidity (the total absence of viscosity in liquid helium) are not merely peculiar in their own right. Being the only macroscopic quantum phenomena they also manifest a sudden and dramatic change...
