Description
Magnetic and superconducting materials pervade every avenue of the technological world from microelectronics and mass-data storage to
medicine and heavy engineering. This Concise Encyclopedia draws together for the first time in a single volume the remarkable advances
seen in recent years in the discovery of new materials and improvements of existing materials, in the elucidation of a new and deeper
understanding of their phenomenology and in the expansion and diversification of their application in technology. Magnetic and superconducting
materials have much in common; they have both experienced, over the last decade, a revolution that has revitalised and galvanised their
respective fields. In each case the impetus has come from the discovery of new materials; this, in turn, has stimulated a re-evaluation
of a wide range of basic mechanisms and phenomena. The encyclopedia is based on newly commissioned articles and articles revised from
the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Materials and Engineering. Details of all important materials systems and their properties are
included and key areas such as thin films are covered. The volume contains 110 articles, alphabetically organised and written by over
120 acknowledged experts within the field of magnetic and superconducting materials. Each article discusses in turn one aspect of the
subject and includes, where appropriate, photographs, line drawings and tables to aid the understanding of the topic under discussion.
Cross-references guide readers to articles covering subjects of related interest and the bibliography at the end of each article indicates
the most important recent literature.
