It contains all the major subfields, including the classical superconductors, the high temperature superconductors that were discovered in 1986, and the more recently discovered types such as magnesium diboride and the borocarbides which are currently under intensive investigation worldwide. There are long lists of tabulated data for the various types of superconductors, and over 2,500 references to the literature. In addition, this book is written in a format that it could be used as a textbook."--Jacket An encyclopaedic treatment of aspects of superconductivity, from classic materials to fullerenes. Emphasis is on balanced coverage, with a reference list and illustrations. Theoretical approaches are explained in detail. Topics include high temperature superconductors, spectroscopy and tunneling. This text is concerned with the phenomenon of superconductivity, a phenomenon characterized by certain electrical, magnetic, and other properties, many of which will be introduced in the following chapter.
