Layered Superconductors

Zusatztext Richard A. Klemm, an expert in the field, has written a comprehensive two-volume book devoted to the physical properties of layered superconductors. In Volume 1, having introduced the crystal structures, Fermi surfaces and the normal state properties of a variety of compounds , he turns, within phenomenological models, to fundamental superconducting quantities like magnetic penetration depth, coherence length and critical fields. "Layered superconductors" is an important textbook both for graduate students and professionals working in the field of superconductivity. Informationen zum Autor Richard Klemm, with collaborators, discovered layered superconductors while working as a research technician at Synvar Research Institute in Palo Alto. He went on to write his doctoral thesis on the subject, and has since had a distinguished career working in various fields within condensed matter physics, with visiting professorships at numerous American universities, and positions at the National Laboratories. He is a fellow and outstanding referee of the American Physical Society. Klappentext This book provides a comparison of the different chemical structures! normal state properties! and simplest superconducting properties of all known classes of layered superconductors. It introduces the three phenomenological models used to describe such systems! and will guide young researchers hoping to produce a room-temperature superconductor.
