Superconducting Materials and Their Applications (eBook, ePUB)

An interdisciplinary approach

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The applications of superconducting materials have the potential to change our world, but descriptions of superconductivity in literature tend to be complex for non-physicists. This text provides an accessible account of superconductivity and its applications for an interdisciplinary readership.

This book covers the characteristics of superconducting materials, particularly those with commercial applications, including MRI, MEG, high-field magnets, magnetometers, gradiometers, SQUID sensors and Josephson Junctions. The applications and concepts, including the basic characteristics of superconductivity, are discussed at a level suitable for those with a basic background in physics, without using complex mathematics.

This is a valuable reference text for researchers and practitioners working with devices made from superconducting materials, particularly those involved in the fabrication and use of high-field magnets, and the detection of ultra-low magnetic field signals using SQUID sensors. The text also acts as useful supplementary reading for courses related to superconductivity and superconducting materials.
