New Superconductors:
From Granular to High Tc
Tel Aviv, Israel, June 1: How new are
the high Tc superconductors, as compared to the conventional low Tc ones? In
what sense are these oxides different from regular metals in their normal state?
How different is the mechanism for high Tc superconductivity from the well-known
electron–phonon interaction that explains so well superconductivity in metals
and alloys? What are the implications of the new features of the high Tc oxides
for their practical applications? This interesting book aims to provide some
answers to those questions, drawing particularly on similarities between the
high Tc oxides and granular superconductors, which also present a short
coherence length and a small superfluid density.
Contents: Superfluidity; Coherence
Length, Penetration Depth and Critical Temperature; The Phase Transition; Phase
Diagrams; Gap, Symmetry and Pseudo-Gap; Basics on Vortices; Cuprate
Superconductors Under Strong Fields; From Fundamentals to Applications; HTS
Conductors and Their Applications.
