The discovery by J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Mtllier in 1986 that the
superconducting state can exist in oxides at temperatures above 30
K stimulated research in the field of superconductivity and opened
up a new field of research. Within a few years a large number of
cuprate superconductors with transition temperatures well above the
boiling point of liquid nitrogen have been found. The possibility
of using liquid nitrogen as coolant re-stimulated interest in power
applications of supercon ductivity. In this book an overview of the
known high-Te superconductors and their physical properties is
presented. Aspects related to conductor fabrication and
high-current applications are emphasised. The material should be
suitable for use in graduate level courses on superconductivity.
Researchers in the field may profit from the large number of tables
and references describing its status at the end of 1997. An
introduction to high-To superconductivity must be based on the
fundamental physical principles of normal-state electrical
conductivity and the well-known characteristics of conventional
superconductors. In Chapter 2 this background is provided. Crystal
structures, anisotropic properties and general trends of the
critical temperatures of the cuprate superconductors are described
in Chapters 3 and 4. The processing of superconductor powders
addressed in Chapter 5 affects considerably the current-carrying
capacity of high-T. wires. In Chapter 6 several fabrication
techniques for superconducting wires are described. In addition,
the factors limiting the transport critical currents ofhigh-Te
wires are discussed."
