High-Temperature Superconductivity Experiment and Theory


Free Download High-Temperature Superconductivity: Experiment and Theory By Professor Dr. Nikolai M. Plakida (auth.)
1995 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 3642784089 | PDF | 7 MB
High-Temperature Superconductors provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the properties of these fascinating materials. Much has been learned about the behavior and mechanism of this novel type of superconductivity over the past five years, but many questions remain unanswered. This book gives an invaluable survey which will help students and researchers to consolidate their knowledge and build upon it. A large number of illustrations and tables give valuable information for specialists. A critical comparison of different theoretical models involving strong electron correlations, spin fluctuations, phonons and excitons provides a background for understanding modern trends in the theory of high-temperature superconductivity.

On Superconductivity and Superfluidity A Scientific Autobiography


Free Download On Superconductivity and Superfluidity: A Scientific Autobiography by Vitaly L. Ginzburg
English | PDF (True) | 2009 | 238 Pages | ISBN : 3540680047 | 7.6 MB
This book presents the Nobel Laureate Vitaly Ginzburg’s views on the development in the field of superconductivity. It contains a selection of Ginzburg’s key writings, including his amended version of the Nobel lecture in Physics 2003. Also included are an expanded autobiography, which was written for the Nobel Committee, an article entitled "A Scientific Autobiography: An Attempt," a fundamental article co-written with L.D. Landau entitled "To the theory of superconductivity," an expanded review article "Superconductivity and superfluidity (what was done and what was not done)," and some newly written short articles about superconductivity and related subjects. So, in toto, presented here are the personal contributions of Ginzburg, that resulted in the Nobel Prize, in the context of his scientific biography.

Two-Dimensional Superconductivity in Rare Earth Oxybismuthides with Unusual Valent Bismuth Square Net


Free Download Two-Dimensional Superconductivity in Rare Earth Oxybismuthides with Unusual Valent Bismuth Square Net by Ryosuke Sei
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 (2024 Edition) | 124 Pages | ISBN : 9819973120 | 44.6 MB
This book elucidates fascinating electronic phenomena of unusual Bi2-square net in layered R2O2Bi (R: rare earth) compounds using two approaches: the fabrication of epitaxial thin films and the synthesis of bulk polycrystalline powders. The Bi2-square net compounds are a promising platform to explore exotic physical properties originating from the interplay between a two-dimensional electronic state and strong spin-orbit coupling; however, there are few reports on Bi2-square net compounds due to the instability of unusual electronic configurations.

Fundamentals of Superconductivity


Free Download Fundamentals of Superconductivity by Vladimir Z. Kresin , Stuart A. Wolf
English | PDF | 1990 | 231 Pages | ISBN : 0306434741 | 21.8 MB
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity has resulted in a remarkable growth in the amount of research and the number of researchers working in this exciting field. Superconductivity is not a new phenomenon: in 1991 it will be 80 years old. Even though it was the newer discoveries which motivated us to write this book, the book itself is mainly a description of the fundamentals of the phenomenon. The book is written for a very broad audience, including students, engin eers, teachers, scientists, and others who are interested in learning about this exciting frontier of science. We have focused on the qualitative aspects, so that the reader can develop a basic understanding of the fundamental physics without getting bogged down in the details. Because of this approach, our list of refer ences is not comprehensive, and it is supplemented with a summary of additional reading consisting of monographs and selected review articles. (The articles we have referenced were either not reflected in the review articles on monographs or were milestones in the development of the field. ) In addition, some of the sections which can be skipped during the first reading have been marked with asterisks (*). Until recently, superconductivity was considered to belong to the field of low-temperature physics. This field was born, simultaneously with quantum physics, at the beginning of this century. Initially these two contemporaneous fields developed independently, but they soon became strongly coupled.
