The discoveries of new superconducting materials, most of them
during the last 30 years, have served very much as the context for
further developments in theory which continue to the present. In
many of these cases, the observations of superconductivity in new
materials were completely unexpected and therefore may be regarded
as real discoveries. Even the most visible progress, which followed
a search using, to some extent, conventional wisdom, was finally
rather unexpected - the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in
copper oxides.
This book presents superconductivity in this materials context and
displays some of the underlying simplicity in the materials record
that provided fuel for the theoretical developments. Not only is
the phenomenon deeply interesting, the metallic systems where it
plays out are as well, and superconductivity gives a very
interesting window from which to view the nature of electrically
conducting materials. The level is not advanced, yet allows the
serious reader to access the current developments in the
literature.
Addresses in detail the exciting developments after 1980.
Demonstrates that progress in superconductivity is to a large
extent due to progress in materials synthesis and
characterization.Gateway to the current developments in the
literature.
