Description for Superconductors
Unusual and unconventional features of a large variety of novel superconductors are presented and their technological potential as practical superconductors assessed. Num Pages: 496 pages, 340 b/w illustrations. BIC Classification: PHK; TGM; TJFD5. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 255 x 233 x 28. Weight in Grams: 1190.
Superconductors is neither about basic aspects of superconductivity nor about its applications, but its mainstay is superconducting materials. Unusual and unconventional features of a large variety of novel superconductors are presented and their technological potential as practical superconductors assessed. The book begins with an introduction to basic aspects of superconductivity. The presentation is readily accessible to readers from a diverse range of scientific and technical disciplines, such as metallurgy, materials science, materials engineering, electronic and device engineering, and chemistry. The derivation of mathematical formulas and equations has been kept to a minimum and, wherever necessary, short appendices with essential mathematics ... Read more

Reviews for Superconductors
This book fills an important void in the pedagogical superconductivity literature, where materials are often described only in the passing, only to substantiate theoretical concepts. This book is an invaluable resource as a reference book for researchers. But it will be of equal help as a supplementary text for students taking an advanced superconductivity course, who need to appreciate the ... Read more
