Description for The Oxford Handbook of Small Superconductors (Oxford Handbooks)
Hardcover. Mesoscopic superconductors achieve a level of smallness that reveals the dominance of strange quantum effects. In a world driven by the miniaturization of electronic device technology, small superconductors acquire great relevance and timeliness for the development of ground breaking novel quantum devices. Editor(s): Narlikar, A. V. Series: Oxford Handbooks. Num Pages: 640 pages. BIC Classification: PHFC; TGM; TJFD5. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 253 x 196 x 37. Weight in Grams: 1514.
This handbook is about a remarkable set of materials that are technically referred to as "mesoscopic superconductors", which for all practical purposes are tiny or small in their dimensions, ranging from a few micrometers down to a nanometer. At this level of smallness, the superconducting properties are dramatically changed, showing the dominance of quantum effects. Ground breaking research studies of small superconductors have emerged, and in a world obsessed with miniaturization of electronic device technology, small superconductors acquire even greater relevance and timeliness for the development of exciting novel quantum devices. The chapters, contributed by noted researchers and ... Read more
