KEY BENEFIT:The field of applied superconductivity has been transformed by new materials, new fabrication methods, innovative device and circuit concepts, and the discovery of high-temperature superconductors. In this book, two of the field's leading experts present an authoritative, up-to-date guide to the theory and current practice of superconductivity.KEY TOPICS:The book begins by introducing normal metal behavior at low temperatures, and the phase transition to superconductivity. It presents the classic Meissner experiment, and reviews several key theories essential to practical analysis. In each case, the book helps readers develop an intuitive understanding, while minimizing the quantum mechanics and thermodynamics required. Coverage includes an up-to-date analysis of microwave and millimeter-wave applications; a richly-developed treatment of Josephson junctions and devices; advanced high-temperature oxide superconductor applications; Ginzburg-Landau equations; Type II superconductivity theories and technologies; and more. The CD-ROM contains valuable software for circuit simulation and inductance calculations.MARKET:All electrical engineering and applied physics professionals working in R&D in industrial, university or government settings; as well as advanced students of applied superconductivity.

From the Back Cover

Principles of Superconductive Devices and Circuits, Second Edition, lays the analytical foundation for understanding a wide range of modern applications of both low- and high-temperature superconductors. It represents an extensive update to the first edition, which has been used worldwide and translated into Japanese, Russian, and Chinese. The field of applied superconductivity has been transformed since the first edition by new materials and fabrication techniques, and by innovative device and circuit concepts. In this new edition, two leading experts provide an up-to-date guide to the theory and practice of applied superconductivity.

Synopsis

* Would you like a well-balanced theory and applications oriented book that has been updated in its second edition to include the most recent innovations in superconductivity technology? Aimed at first-year electrical engineering and physics courses at the graduate level. This book introduces key theories useful for practical analysis, providing an intuitive understanding and the basis for a wide variety of applications. The book does so in a way that minimizes the necessary depth of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics background.
