Studies of High Temperature Superconductors, Volume 42 - Vortex Physics

HTS Thin Film & More On Vortex Studies - Advances in Research & Applications

The main topic of this book is unconventional superconductors which include the metal hydrides, organic superconductors, graphite and other carbon-based systems. Graphite and carbon-based materials are currently considered most intriguing in that they show both superconductivity (including the possibility of high or even extra high temperature superconductivity) and magnetism and they are of considerable topical interest. The book carries extended articles on tunnelling and magno-tunelling studies giving new insights into superconductivity of curates and of unconventional systems. The five chapters comprising the book have been contributed by active and renowned researchers from six countries.

This book contains eight chapters. The first three focus on three different layered systems, namely, mercurocuprate, BSCCO and RE-123 and present exciting features like their unusual chemistry, vortex physics and novel characteristics of the multilayers formed with some of them. The remaining five chapters of the volume describe studies carried out on recently discovered magnesium diboride, which superconducts at 39K. New and interesting work has been presented which describes, noteworthy advances in their flux pinning and mechanical properties and also bring out their future potential as this films and SQUID devices.

Studies of High Temperature Superconductors, Volume 37 - Diverse Superconducting Systems & Some Miscellaneous Applications

This 35th volume of the 'Studies' is devoted to the technologically important BSCCO system. It focuses on a host of topics such as the synthesis and fabrication of conductors, superconducting BSCCO magnets, and the basic technological properties of the material in relation to the microstructure. The authors are distinguished in the field, working in different parts of the world, maintaining the international character of the series.

This book, describes exciting happenings taking place in the important field of organic superconductors. Also included are chapters on the topical area of striped phases in cuprate superconductors. There is also an interesting chapter on growth of single crystals of quaternary borocarbide superconductors.

Main headings: Flux Depinning and Current vs. Voltage Characteristics Near the Glass-Liquid Transition; Equilibrium Properties of the Mixed Phase of High-Tc Superconductors in the Presence of Pinning; Microstructure and Flux Pinning in Melt Processed (Nd,Eu,Gd)-Ba-Cu-O Superconductor; Influence of Irradiation-Induced Defects and Chemical Substitutions on the Flux Pinning in Hg-Based Single Crystals and Films; Magnetisation Discontinuities at Melting and Freezing Transitions in YBa2Cu3O7-8; Current-Induced Unbinding of Thermally Created Vortex-Antivortex Pairs in Zero Magnetic Field; Flux Creep-Flux Flow Crossover in the Presence of Disorder in High Temperature Superconductors.

The focus of this volume is the microstructures and related aspects of HTS and thus it forms the sequel (or the Part-II) to the earlier Volume 28 of the book series, which also had the microstructures as its mainstay. The chapters comprising the present volume bring out a host of fresh insights into the growth morphology, defect structures and the structure property relationships in various HTS systems. Closely related to the problem of microstructures is the important issue of the damage mechanics involved in the sample processing, which also forms one of the chapters of this volume. Given its interdisciplinary premise that 'Studies of High Temperature Superconductors: is aimed at professional scientists and engineers, as well as graduate students of physics, chemistry, materials science, solid state electronics and engineering'.
