Superconductivityby Kristian Fossheim; Asle Sudboe
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2005; US$ 165.00Superconductivity: Physics and Applications brings together major developments that have occurred within the field over the past twenty years. Taking a truly modern approach to the subject the authors provide an interesting and accessible introduction. Brings a fresh approach to the physics of superconductivity based both on the well established and convergent picture for most low-Tc superconductors, provided by the BCS theory at the microscopic level, and London and Ginzburg-Landau theories at the phenomenological level, as well as on experiences gathered in high-Tc research in recent years. Includes end of chapter problems and numerous relevant examples Features brief interviews with key researchers in the field A prominent feature... more...
SUPERCONDUCTIVITYby V. L. Ginzburg; E. A. Andryushin
World Scientific 2005; US$ 20.80What is superconductivity? How was it discovered? What are the properties of superconductors, how are they applied now, and how are they likely to become widely used in the near future? These are just some of the questions which this important book sets out to answer. Starting with the discovery of superconductivity over ninety years ago, the book guides the readers through the many years of subsequent exploration, right up to the latest sensational findings. Written in a lively, nontechnical style, this book makes ideal background reading for any school or college level study of superconductivity. The authors, who are leading authorities in the field, paint detailed pictures of the phenomena involved without mathematical formalism, appealing... more...
Rise of the Superconductorsby George Saunders

Theory of Copper Oxide Superconductorsby Hiroshi Kamimura; Hideki Ushio; Shunichi Matsuno; Tsuyoshi Hamada
Springer 2005; US$ 149.00This is an advanced textbook for graduate students and researchers wishing to learn about high temperature superconductivity in copper oxides, in particular the Kamimura-Suwa (K-S) model. Because a number of models have been proposed since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity by Bednorz and Muller in 1986, the book first explains briefly the historical development that led to the K-S model. It then focuses on the physical background necessary to understand the K-S model and on the basic principles behind various physical phenomena such as electronic structures, electrical, thermal and optical properties, and the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity. more...
Mechanisms of Conventional and High Tc Superconductivityby Vladimir Z. Kresin; Hans Morawitz; Stuart A. Wolf
Oxford University Press 1993; US$ 250.00Presents the methods, established results, and advances in the field of superconductivity including phonic, magnetic, and electronic models. The authors focus on the phenomenon of induced superconductivity in the high-temperature ("high-Tc") oxides, particularly the high transition temperature cuprates. more...
