Abstract: Ginzburg-Landau-Gor'kov equations and the expression for the current for coexisting superconductivity-charge-density-wave (CDW) systems near the superconducting transition temperature have been derived from a microscopic theory. An additional current due to the sliding CDW and the CDW-induced anisotropy lead to interesting physical consequences as far as thermodynamic and electrodynamic properties of this system are concerned. For instance, Meissner effect is sensitive to the contribution from both currents. We propose measurements of CDW-induced anisotropy which can be used to prove the microscopic mechanism of coexistence.;In the second part of this thesis we propose a microscopic theory of electromagnetic transients propagating through a thin dielectric slab. This theory is time dependent, allowing us to calculate the energy and momentum transfer to the medium which comprises an array of Lorentz harmonic oscillators. In the microscopic level for the first time, we recover the first Sommerfeld precursor.
