Overview

This book explores the fascinating field of high-temperature superconductivity. Basic concepts--including experimental techniques and theoretical issues--are discussed in a clear, systematic manner. In addition, the most recent research results in the measurements, materials synthesis and processing, and characterization of physical properties of high-temperature superconductors are presented. Researchers and students alike can use this book as a comprehensive introduction not only to superconductivity but also to materials-related research in electromagnetic ceramics. Special features of the book: * presents recent developments in vortex-state properties, defects characterization, and phase equilibrium * introduces basic concepts for experimental techniques at low temperatures and high magnetic fields * provides a valuable reference for materials-related research * discusses potential industrial applications of high-temperature superconductivity * includes novel processing technologies for thin film and bulk materials * suggests areas of research and specific problems whose solution can make high-T superconductors a practical reality
