Book Description
This book contains an interdisciplinary selection of timely articles which cover a wide range of superconducting technologies ranging from high tech medicine (10-12 Gauss) to multipurpose sensors, microwaves, radio engineering, magnet technology for accelerators, magnetic energy storage, and power transmission on the 109 watt scale. It is aimed primarily at the non-specialist and will be suitable as an introductory course book for those in the relevant fields and related industries. As shown in the title several examples of high-Tc applications are included. While low-Tc is still the leading technology, for instance, in cables and SQUIDS, case studies in these areas are presented.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“…the book should prove most useful to several groups of readers. Firstly, to those embarking on a research career in superconductivity who would like to know in what direction this may lead. Next, to those scientists in industry who wish to keep in touch with this potentially revolutionary technology and finally, to those who may have been dazzled by the HTS spotlight over the past five years, unaware that many important advances have been made in conventional superconducting applications over that period.” John Gallop Physics World, Nov 1991
