The first edition of this book provided an introduction to the many
static and dynamic features of magnetic flux structures in what are
now called classical or low-temperature superconductors. It went
out of print not long after the discovery of high-temperature
superconductors in 1986 by J.G. Bednorz and K.A. Miiller, a
discovery which resulted worldwide in an explosive growth of
research and development in the field of superconductivity. Because
of this upsurge of activities, a strong demand for this book
clearly continued. Since the contents of the fourteen chapters of
the first edition are still valid and continue to represent a
useful introduction into the various subjects, it was felt that a
reprinting of these chapters in this second edition would be highly
attractive. In this way, the reader is also able to trace the
earlier scienti fic developments, themselves constituting important
ideas sometimes forgot ten by the new community dealing with
high-temperature superconductivity. However, because of the
exciting and important recent progress in the field of
high-temperature superconductivity, an extensive chapter has been
added in this second edition. It provides a summary of the new
developments and a discussion of the highlights. Here keywords such
as vortex matter, vortex imaging, and half-integer magnetic flux
quanta describe surprising new issues."
