Beschreibung:
Rudolf P. Huebener presents the field of superconductivity research in a clear and compact way. He vividly describes how this area has developed in many directions since the discovery of superconductivity more than 100 years ago. This concerns materials, experiments on the physical principles, theoretical understanding and technical applications. Among other things, the essential deals with the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect, magnetic flux quantization, the Josephson effect, the BCS theory and high-temperature superconductivity.
Clear and compact presentation of the research area
The discovery of superconductivity.- magnetic penetration depth, coherence length and London theory.- type II superconductivity and the Abrikosov-Vortex lattice.- cuprate superconductors and iron pnictides.- technical applications.
