OverviewWith the advent of high temperature superconductivity and the increasing reliability of fabrication techniques, superconductor technology has moved firmly into the mainstream of academic and industrial research. An increasing number of materials scientists and electrical engineers require easy access to practical information, sensible advice and guidance on best practice and reliable, proven fabrication and characterization techniques. This handbook is a guide to the techniques for fabricating and analysing superconducting materials. In addition to descriptions of techniques, researchers advise on the most appropriate techniques for particular situations. Characterization and measurement techniques form an important part of the handbook, providing researchers with a standard reference for experimental techniques. The tutorial style description of these techniques makes the handbook particularly suitable for use by graduate students. Full Product DetailsAuthor: David A.
