Cryogenic Engineering
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99Starting with an historical background dating to the 1850s, this book reviews the development of data resources available for cryogenic fields and properties of materials. The advances in cryogenic fundamentals are covered by reviews of cryogenic principles, cryogenic insulation, low-loss storage systems, modern liquefaction processes, and more. more...
Discovering Superconductivity
Wiley 2012; US$ 120.00Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon that manifests itself in materials showing zero electrical resistance below a characteristic temperature resulting in the potential for an electric current to run continually through such a material without the need for a power source. Such materials are used extensively in medical and power applications,... more...
Electron-Phonon Interaction in Conventional and Unconventional Superconductors
Springer 2011; US$ 109.99The problem of conventional, low-temperature superconductivity has been regarded as solved since the seminal work of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer (BCS) more than 50 years ago. However, the theory does not allow accurate predictions of some of the most fundamental properties of a superconductor, including the superconducting energy gap on the Fermi... more...
Flux Pinning in Superconductors
Springer 2007; US$ 209.99Deals with the flux pinning mechanisms and properties and the electromagnetic phenomena caused by the flux pinning common for metallic, high-temperature and MgB2 superconductors. This book helps the readers learn why the resultant loss is of hysteresis type in spite of such mechanism. more...
Fundamental Elements of Applied Superconductivity in Electrical Engineering
Wiley 2013; US$ 130.50Superconducting technology is potentially important as one of the future smart grid technologies. It is a combination of superconductor materials, electrical engineering, cryogenic insulation, cryogenics and cryostats.
