Superconductivity: Physics and Applications brings together major
developments that have occurred within the field over the past
twenty years. Taking a truly modern approach to the subject the
authors provide an interesting and accessible introduction.
Brings a fresh approach to the physics of superconductivity
based both on the well established and convergent picture for most
low-Tc superconductors, provided by the BCS theory at the
microscopic level, and London and Ginzburg-Landau theories at the
phenomenological level, as well as on experiences gathered in
high-Tc research in recent years.
* Includes end of chapter problems and numerous
relevant examples
* Features brief interviews with key researchers in the
field
* A prominent feature of the book is the use of SI units
throughout, in contrast to many of the current textbooks on the
subject which tend to use cgs units and are considered to be
outdated
