Engineering Superconductivity

Comprehensive coverage of superconductivity from the Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Engineering Superconductivity features fifty articles selected from the Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, the one truly indispensable reference for electrical engineers. Superconductor technology has made highly advanced experiments possible in chemistry, biochemistry, particle physics, and health sciences, and introduced new applications currently in use in fields from medicine to cellular communications. Taken together, these articles-written by acknowledged experts in the field-provide the most complete and in-depth accounting of superconductivity in existence. The book brings together a wealth of information that would not be available to those who do not have access to the full 24-volume encyclopedia.

This thorough survey looks at the application of superconductors from an engineer's practical perspective rather than a theoretical approach. Engineering Superconductivity provides full coverage of the fundamentals of superconducting behavior and explains the properties and fabrication methods of commercially produced superconductors. Up-to-date material on superconductor applications as well as competing technologies is included.

The fifty articles presented here are divided into three sections:

• Superconductivity and magnetism
• Superconductors
• Applications and related technology

Engineering Superconductivity is a complete and up-to-date reference for engineers, physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and anyone working with superconductors.75 Artikel zur Supraleitfähigkeit, themenorientiert ausgewählt aus der Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering und versehen mit einer Einführung von Peter Lee (University of Wisconsin). Durch die handliche, einbändige Form eignet sich das Werk für alle, die nicht die gesamte Enzyklopädie, sondern nur Informationen zu diesem Spezialgebiet benötigen. Alle Artikel wurden von ausgewiesenen Experten formuliert und von Praktikern bearbeitet. Die umfassendste derzeit erhältliche Sammlung von Beiträgen zur Supraleitfähigkeit! Preface.
