High Temperature Superconductors: Proceedings of the Satellite Symposium 4 on High Temperature Superconductors of the 7th International Meeting on M (Materials Science Monographs, 70)

This volume brings together a selection of papers on recent progress in the rapidly developing field of ceramic superconductors. The 99 papers, including 5 invited, cover all the major aspects of the theory of high Tc superconductivity. The structural chemical and physical properties of materials are reviewed in detail and include their processing techniques to powders, bulk materials, films and fibers. Material shortcomings and requirements for developing innovative technologies based on ceramic superconductors, and their applications in specific fields are also discussed.
