Description
This book is a comprehensive survey of high temperature superconductivity, which is a new and revolutionary field of physics. The book is divided into three sections: materials, mechanisms, and devices. The first section covers the materials that are used in high temperature superconductors, including synthetic approaches to the growth of new materials, optical, magnetic, and electrical characterization of synthesized materials, and strong correlations. The second section discusses the mechanisms of high temperature superconductivity, including the magnon pairing mechanism. The third section covers the devices that are used to study high temperature superconductivity, including the Josephson junction and the SQUID. This book is an excellent introduction to high temperature superconductivity and will be invaluable to researchers in condensed matter physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
High Temperature Superconductivity provides a broad survey of high temperature superconductivity, discussing the adaptations of experimental and theoretical techniques and methods that take advantage of the revolutionary properties of high temperature superconductors. Distinguished engineers, chemists, and experimental and theoretical physicists introduce their own particular area of the field before going on to explain current theories and techniques. The book is divided into three sections: materials, mechanisms, and devices. Topics covered include synthetic approaches to the growth of new materials; optical, magnetic, and electrical characterization of synthesized materials; strong correlations; the magnon pairing mechanism; and technical background of device performance in new materials. A coherent introduction to high temperature superconductivity, this volume will be invaluable to researchers in condensed matter physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
