High-Temperature Superconductors

The present book aims at describing the phenomenon of superconductivity and high-temperature superconductors discovered by Bednorz and Muller in 1986. The book covers the superconductivity phenomenon, structure of high-T_c superconductors, critical currents, synthesis routes for high T_c materials, superconductivity in cuprates, the proximity effect and SQUIDs, theories of superconductivity and applications of superconductors.

List of contents

The Phenomenon: Occurrence and Characteristics.- Crystal structure of High Temperature Superconductors.- Critical Current.- Synthesis of High Superconductors.- Superconductivity in Cuprates.- The Proximity and Josephson Effects.- Theories of superconductivity.- Application of superconductivity.
