Physical Properties of High Temperature Superconductors V (Vol V)

In an examination of the physical properties of high temperature superconductors, the topics discussed in this text include the electromagnetic response (penetration depth and surface resistance), local lattice distortions, the influence of vortex fluctuations and microstructure on macroscopic behaviour, effects of points defects generated by electron irradiation, the properties of superlattices, and the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter.
