By covering theory, design, and fabrication of nanostructured
superconducting materials, this monograph is an invaluable resource
for research and development. Examples are energy saving solutions,
healthcare, and communication technologies. Key ingredients are
nanopatterned materials which help to improve the superconducting
critical parameters and performance of superconducting devices, and
lead to novel functionalities. Contents Tutorial on nanostructured
superconductors Imaging vortices in superconductors: from the
atomic scale to macroscopic distances Probing vortex dynamics on a
single vortex level by scanning ac-susceptibility microscopy STM
studies of vortex cores in strongly confined nanoscale
superconductors Type-1.5 superconductivity Direct visualization of
vortex patterns in superconductors with competing vortex-vortex
interactions Vortex dynamics in nanofabricated chemical solution
deposition high-temperature superconducting films Artificial
pinning sites and their applications Vortices at microwave
frequencies Physics and operation of superconducting single-photon
devices Josephson and charging effect in mesoscopic superconducting
devices NanoSQUIDs: Basics & recent advances Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8
intrinsic Josephson junction stacks as emitters of terahertz
radiation| Interference phenomena in superconductor-ferromagnet
hybrids Spin-orbit interactions, spin currents, and magnetization

A geometric figure has chirality, or handedness, if its mirror
image cannot be brought to coincide with itself. The concept of
chirality was instrumental in establishing the tetrahedral valences
of the carbon atom, and has continued to play a key role in
chemistry and molecular biology ever since.The fact that living
organisms use only one of two mirror isomers of such molecules as
amino acids and sugars, that is, the question of the origin of
homochirality of the molecular basis of life, remains an unsolved
problem of the same dignity as the origin of dark matter and dark
energy.The increasing importance of chirality and topology in
condensed matter physics and chemistry, and the production of new
states of matter in heavy-ion collisions, have brought the concept
of chirality into physics and cosmology in a tangible way while at
the same time expanded the physics/chemistry interface. The book is
the first to address all aspects of chirality in a single volume.
