Description
The field of superconductivity has tremendous potential for growth and further development in industrial applications. The subject continues
to occupy physicists, chemists, and engineers interested in both the phenomena itself and possible financially viable industrial devices
utilizing the physical concepts. For the past five years, within the publications of the American Physical Society, for example, 40%-60%
of all articles submitted to major journals in the area of Solid State Physics have been on the subject of superconductivity, including
the newer, extremely important subfield of high temperature superconductivity (high Tc).
The present volume is the first handbook to
address this field. It covers both "classic" superconductivity-related topics and high Tc. Numerous properties, including thermal, electrical,
magnetic, mechanical, phase diagrams, and spectroscopic crystallographic structures are presented for many types of superconductors.
Critical fields, critical currents, coherence lengths, penetration depths, and transition temperatures are tabulated.
Audience
Researchers and graduate students in physics and related fields like chemistry and engineering. Libraries will need it as a basic reference book.
