I am indeed pleased to prepare this brief foreword for this book,
written by several of my friends and colleagues in the Soviet
Union. The book was first published in the Russian language in
Moscow in 1975. The phenomenon of superconductivity was discovered
in 1911 and promised to be important to the production of
electromagnets since superconductors would not dissipate Joule
heat. Unfortunate ly the first materials which were discovered to
be superconducting reverted to the normal resistive state in
magnetic fields of a few tesla. Thus the development that was hoped
for by hundredths of a the early pioneers was destined to be
delayed for over half a century. In 1961 the intermetallic compound
NbaSn was found to be superconducting in a field of about 200
teslas. This breakthrough marked a turning point, and 50 years
after the discovery of superconductivity an intensive period of
technological development began. There are many applications of
superconductivity that are now being pursued, but perhaps one of
the most important is super conducting magnetic systems. There was
a general feeling in the early 1960s that the intermetallic
compounds and alloys that were found to retain superconductivity in
the presence of high magnetic fields would make the
commercialization of superconducting magnets a relatively simple
matter. However, the next few years were ones of disillusionment;
large magnets were found to be unstable, causing them to revert to
the normal state at much lower magnetic fields than predicted."
