Overview

The authors describe 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.

""... 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."" from the foreword by P G de Gennes
