Introduction to Superconductivity and High-Tc Materials

Download or read book Introduction to Superconductivity and High-Tc Materials written by Michel Cyrot and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1992 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sets this book apart from others on the introduction to super-conductivity and high-c materials is its simple and pragmatic approach. The authors describe all 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.
