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-Tc superconductors, critical currents, synthesis routes for high Tc materials, superconductivity in cuprates, the proximity effect and SQUIDs, theories of superconductivity and applications of superconductors. Covers the major experimental and theoretical developments in the science of high-temperature superconductors Also includes the applications of high-temperature superconductors A reference to researchers and a complete survey of the field for graduate students alike INDICE: 1.
