Zusatztext Narlikar has written a comprehensive text from a relatively novel angle: that of materials science. This book is not intended to replace such legendary texts as the one by Tinkham, but comes into its own with a concise summary of the materials and techniques used to produce superconductors ... Narlikar has done the field a service by compiling such a comprehensive text Anyone with even the slightest interest in superconductivity would benefit from having this text on his or her shelf, especially someone from a materials science background. Informationen zum Autor A. V. Narlikar has been an active researcher in the field of superconductors for over 50 years. He received PhD and ScD degrees in this field from the University of Cambridge, UK. For 30 years Professor Narlikar headed the Superconductivity Division at the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi. He is presently a Senior Scientist and a Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, working at UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research in Indore. He is also a Visiting Scientist in the Applied Superconductivity and Cryoscience Group at the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Science, University of Cambridge. He has contributed over 300 papers to international refereed journals and over 50 edited/authored books on superconductors, published by international publishers.
