Abstract:
This book explores the fascinating field of high-temperature superconductivity. Basic concepts–including experimental techniques and theoretical issues–are discussed in a clear, systematic manner. In addition, the most recent research results in the measurements, materials synthesis and processing, and characterization of physical properties of high-temperature superconductors are presented. Researchers and students alike can use this book as a comprehensive introduction not only to superconductivity but also to materials-related research in electromagnetic ceramics. <P><IT>Special features of the book</IT>: <P>• presents recent developments in vortex-state properties, defects characterization, and phase equilibrium <P>• introduces basic concepts for experimental techniques at low temperatures and high magnetic fields <P>• provides a valuable reference for materials-related research <P>• discusses potential industrial applications of high-temperature superconductivity <P>• includes novel processing technologies for thin film and bulk materials <P>• suggests areas of research and specific problems whose solution can make high-T<INF>c</INF> superconductors a practical reality.
