Completely revised and updated, the second edition of the Handbook
of Superconductivity is now available in three stand-alone volumes.
As a whole they cover the depth and breadth of the field, drawing
on an international pool of respected academics and industrial
engineers. The three volumes provide hands-on guidance to the
manufacturing and processing technologies associated with
superconducting materials and devices. A comprehensive reference,
the handbook supplies a tutorial on techniques for the beginning
graduate student and a source of ancillary information for
practicing scientists. The past twenty years have seen rapid
progress in superconducting materials, which exhibit one of the
most remarkable physical states of matter ever to be discovered.
Superconductivity brings quantum mechanics to the scale of the
everyday world where a single, coherent quantum state may extend
over a distance of metres, or even kilometres, depending on the
size of a coil or length of superconducting wire. Viable
applications of superconductors rely fundamentally on an
understanding of this intriguing phenomena and the availability of
a range of materials with bespoke properties to meet practical
needs. This first volume covers the fundamentals of
superconductivity and the various classes of superconducting
materials, which sets the context for volumes 2 and 3. Volume 1
ends with a tutorial on phase diagrams, and a glossary relevant to
all 3 volumes.

contributions from leading academics and industry professionals
across the world Provides hands-on guidance to the manufacturing
and processing technologies A comprehensive reference, this
handbook is suitable for both graduate students and practitioners
in experimental physics, materials science and multiple engineering
disciplines, including electronic and electrical, chemical,
mechanical, metallurgy and others.

desired superconducting materials into desired forms: bulks, films,
wires and junction-based devices. The volume closes with articles
on the refrigeration methods needed to put the materials into the
superconducting state. Key Features: Covers the depth and breadth

volume covers fundamentals and various classes of materials, the
second addresses processing of these into various shapes and
configurations needed for applications, and ends with chapters on
refrigeration methods necessary to attain the superconducting state
and the desired performance. This third volume starts with a wide
range of methods permitting one to characterize both the materials
and various end products of processing. Subsequently, diverse
classes of both large scale and electronic applications are
described. Volume 3 ends with a glossary relevant to all three
volumes. Key Features: Covers the depth and breadth of the field
Includes contributions from leading academics and industry
professionals across the world Provides hands-on familiarity with
the characterization methods and offers descriptions of
representative examples of practical applications A comprehensive
reference, the handbook is suitable for both graduate students and
practitioners in experimental physics, materials science, and
multiple engineering disciplines, including electronic and
electrical, chemical, mechanical, metallurgy and others.
