Microstructure and Properties of High-Temperature Superconductorsby Ivan A. Parinov
Springer 2007; US$ 189.00An intrinsic brittleness of oxide cuprates, the layered anisotropic structure and the supershort coherence length are the main features of HTS defining their properties. Taking into account these features, the researching of HTS microstructure and properties is presented, and also the possibilities of optimization of the preparation techniques and superconducting compositions are considered. The link 'composition-technique-experiment-theory-model' investigated in the book, assuming considerable HTSC defectiveness and structure heterogeneity, forms whole picture of modern representations on the microstructure, strength and connected with them the structure-sensitive properties of the materials considered. Especial attention is devoted... more...

High-Tc Superconductors Based on FeAs Compoundsby Yuri Izyumov; Ernst Kurmaev
Springer 2010; US$ 169.00In this title, physical properties and models of electronic structure are analyzed for a new class of high-TC superconductors which belong to iron-based layered compounds. Despite their variable chemical composition and differences in the crystal structure, these compounds possess similar physical characteristics, due to electron carriers in the FeAs layers and the interaction of these carriers with fluctuations of the magnetic order. A tremendous interest towards these materials is explained by the prospects of their practical use. In this monograph, a full picture of the formation of physical properties of these materials, in the context of existing theory models and electron structure studies, is given. The book is aimed at a broad circle... more...
