INTRODUCTION TO SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND HIGH-Tc MATERIALS
by Michel Cyrot (Université J Fourier & CNRS, Grenoble) & Davor Pavuna (Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne, Lausanne)
What sets this book apart from others on the introduction to super-conductivity and high-Tc materials is its simple and pragmatic approach. The authors describe all relevant superconducting phenomena and rely on the macroscopic Ginzburg-Landau theory to derive the most important results. Examples are chosen from selected conventional superconductors like NbTi and compared to those of high-Tc materials. The text should be of interest to students and researchers in all branches of science and engineering, with the possible exception of theoretical physicists, who may require a more mathematical approach.
Contents:
- Introduction: Superconductivity and Superconducting Materials
-
Characteristic Properties
- Elementary Phenomenological Theory
- Critical Current of Type-II Superconductors
- Results from the Microscopic Theory
- Josephson Effects
- High-Temperature Superconducting Oxides
- Technology and Applications
Readership: Materials scientists, chemists, engineers and applied physicists.
"... an introductory text, with a unified, balanced point of view, is of considerable value. This is what Cyrot and Pavuna have produced. Their book still requires a significant effort for a genuine beginner, but it can be studied step by step. It sets up delicate compromises between the opposite dangers of dogmatism and oversimplification."
