High-Temperature Superconductors, 2010
Springer Series in Materials Science Series, Vol. 125

The present book aims at describing the phenomenon of superconductivity and high-temperature superconductors discovered by Bednorz and Muller in 1986. The book covers the superconductivity phenomenon, structure of high-Tc superconductors, critical currents, synthesis routes for high Tc materials, superconductivity in cuprates, the proximity effect and SQUIDs, theories of superconductivity and applications of superconductors.

The Phenomenon: Occurrence and Characteristics.- Crystal structure of High Temperature Superconductors.- Critical Current.- Synthesis of High Superconductors.- Superconductivity in Cuprates.- The Proximity and Josephson Effects.- Theories of superconductivity.- Application of superconductivity.

Covers the major experimental and theoretical developments in the science of high-temperature superconductors Also includes the applications of high-temperature superconductors A reference to researchers and a complete survey of the field for graduate students alike Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
