Superconductivity: Physics and Applications brings together majordevelopments that have occurred within the field over the pasttwenty years. Taking a truly modern approach to the subject theauthors provide an interesting and accessible introduction.
Brings a fresh approach to the physics of superconductivitybased both on the well established and convergent picture for mostlow-Tc superconductors, provided by the BCS theory at themicroscopic level, and London and Ginzburg-Landau theories at thephenomenological level, as well as on experiences gathered inhigh-Tc research in recent years.
* Includes end of chapter problems and numerousrelevant examples
* Features brief interviews with key researchers in thefield
* A prominent feature of the book is the use of SI unitsthroughout, in contrast to many of the current textbooks on thesubject which tend to use cgs units and are considered to beoutdated
