This book presents the current knowledge about superconductivity in
high Tc cuprate superconductors. There is a large scientific
interest and great potential for technological applications. The
book discusses all the aspects related to all families of cuprate
superconductors discovered so far. Beginning with the phenomenon of
superconductivity, the book covers: the structure of cuprate HTSCs,
critical currents, flux pinning, synthesis of HTSCs, proximity
effect and SQUIDs, possible applications of high Tc superconductors
and theories of superconductivity. Though a high Tc theory is still
awaited, this book describes the present scenario and BCS and RVB
theories. The second edition was significantly extended by
including film-substrate lattice matching and buffer layer
considerations in thin film HTSCs, brick-wall microstructure in the
epitaxial films, electronic structure of the CuO2 layer in
cuprates, s-wave and d-wave coupling in HTSCs and possible
scenarios of theories of high Tc superconductivity.

The aim of this book is to acquaintthe reader with the phenomenon
of sup- conductivity and the high temperature superconductors
discovered in 1986 by Bednorz and Muller. Just after this
discovery, a lot of research work was carried out by the scientists
worldwide over for more than about 10 years. This book describes
the superconductivity phenomenon (Chap. 1), the structureofhighT
superconductors(Chap.2), thecriticalcurrents(Chap.3), c synthesis
of high T superconductors (Chap. 3), the superconductivity in c
cuprates (Chap. 4), proximity e?ect and SQUID devices, their design
criteria and noise aspects (Chap. 6), theories (Chap. 7) and
applications (Chap. 8).

The book presents basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics to the
undergraduate and postgraduate students at various colleges and
universities. Starting from the preliminary ideas related to
quantum mechanics, a systematic and logical approach has been used
in the subsequent chapters, together with the inclusion of modern
concepts such as field quantization, Schroedinger's cat problem,
qubits and quantum computing. The approach is conceptual and
pedagogical and stress is given on using the Dirac notations.
Salient Features Student-friendly approach Solved examples and
questions at the end of each chapter. Inclusion of topics such as
Fields and Field quantization, the Einstein- Podolsky-Rosen
Argument, Bell's Inequality and Schroedinger's Cat Problem, Qubits
and Quantum computing.
