The Physics of Superconductors: Vol. I. Conventional and High-Tc Superconductors

Description

A comprehensive two-volume treatise on superconductivity that represents the first such publication since the earlier work by R. Parks. It systematically reviews the basic physics and recent advances in the field. Leading researchers describe the state of the art in conventional phonon-induced superconductivity, high-Tc superconductivity, and novel superconductivity. Numerous illustrations, diagrams and tables make these books especially useful as a reference work for students, teachers, and researchers.

Vol.1:

After an introduction and historical overview, the leaders in the special fields of research give a comprehensive survey of the basics and the state of the art in chapters covering the entire field of superconductivity, including conventional and unconventional superconductors.
