Author(s) : IOP, CARDWELL D. A., GINLEY D. S.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This handbook is a comprehensive guide to the techniques used to fabricate, characterize and measure superconducting materials. Over 100 articles have been provided by more than 150 contributors, all of whom are leading researchers in their field. Main topics: Volume I: fundamentals of superconductivity (introduction to superconductivity and superconducting materials, characteristic properties, elementary theory, critical currents of type II superconductors); processing (introduction to processing methods, bulk materials, wires and tapes, thick and thin films, superconductor contacts); high temperature superconductors (YBCO, BSCCO, TlBCCO, HgBCCO, magnesium diboride). Volume II: characterization techniques (structure/microstructure, measurement and interpretation of electromagnetic properties, measurement of physical properties; applications (high current applications, trapped flux devices, high frequency devices, Josephson junction devices, other devices); introduction to refrigeration methods; emerging materials (Chevrel phases, unconventional superconductivity in heavy fermion and ruthenate superconductors, organic-, fullerene- and future high critical temperature superconductors); appendices (manufacturer and supplier directory, glossary).
