Engineer's Guide to High-Temperature Superconductivity

By James D. Doss

This book is a practical guide to superconductors, including the new generation of high-temperature superconductors, and a variety of applications. It provides a short history of superconductivity, before going on to discuss superconducting phenomena, including type I and type II superconductors, and high-temperature superconductivity, including bismuth- and thallium-based superconductors and the YBaCuo ceramic and its rare-earth counterparts. The author also addresses engineering applications, cryogenic temperature measurement, and safety. Extensive references and appendices are also included.
