Description and Table of Contents
Description
Comprehensive and easy to understand, this introductory text on superconductivity was especially written for the non-specialist. The author, an active researcher in the field for more than forty years, first presents the fundamental considerations - without too much mathematics. Then he describes the various phenomena connected with the superconducting state, provides experimental facts and discusses numerous examples for modern applications. The new high temperature superconductors are also dealt with in detail. The German version of this book - currently in its fourth edition - has been the bestselling standard work on superconductivity for the last two decades.
