SUPERCONDUCTIVITY
Elementary Topics
by Keshav N Shrivastava (University of Hyderabad, India)
This book describes the elementary concepts of superconductivity and discusses the topics of flux-lattice melting, magnetization including the para-Meissner effect, microwave absorption, a.c. resistivity along with the London penetration depth, the Mössbauer effect, levitation, fractals and nuclear magnetic resonance. There are appendices covering superconducting compounds, the isotope effect, symmetries, the pseudogap, relativistic superconductivity, the Cherenkov effect and soft vortices. Also included is an appendix on the quantum Hall effect. In all of the chapters, the theoretical description is supported by experimental data. Several of the topics discussed here cannot be found in the other books on this subject.
Contents:
- Flux Quantization
- Flux Lattices
- Magnetization
- Microwave
Absorption
- Surface Resistance
- Mössbauer Effect
- Levitation
- Fractals
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Readership: Scientists interested in superconductivity, researchers and
graduate students in physics, chemistry and materials science working in universities, laboratories and industrial research centres.
“… this book successfully combines clear physical essence with strict mathematics and allows to obtain accurate understanding of problems and results of modern superconductivity. It will be useful for scientists interested in superconductivity and can be used as a supplementary reading material in the preparation of teaching courses in superconductivity.”
