In contrast to research on the fundamental mechanisms of High-Temperature Superconductivity, in recent years we have seen enormous developments in the fabrication and application of High-T_c-superconductors. The two volumes of High Temperature Superconductivity provide a survey of the state of the technology and engineering applications of these materials. They comprise extended original research papers and technical review articles written by physicists, chemists, materials scientists and engineers, all of them noted experts in their fields. The interdisciplinary and strictly application-oriented coverage should benefit graduate students and academic researchers in the mentioned areas as well as industrial experts.

Volume 1 "Materials" ... Read morefocuses on major technical advancements in High-T_c materials processing for applications. Volume 2 "Engineering Applications" covers numerous application areas where High-T_c superconductors are making tremendous impact.
