Synopsis

What sets this book apart from others on the introduction to super-conductivity and high-Tc materials is its simple and pragmatic approach. The authors describe all relevant superconducting phenomena and rely on the macroscopic Ginzburg-Landau theory to derive the most important results. Examples are chosen from selected conventional superconductors like NbTi and compared to those of high-Tc materials. The text should be of interest to students and researchers in all branches of science and engineering, with the possible exception of theoretical physicists, who may require a more mathematical approach.

About this title

Review

"... an introductory text, with a unified, balanced point of view, is of considerable value. This is what Cyrot and Pavuna have produced. Their book still requires a significant effort for a genuine beginner, but it can be studied step by step. It sets up delicate compromises between the opposite dangers of dogmatism and oversimplification." from the foreword by P G de Gennes
