Table of Contents1: Onnes' discovery and hundred years of superconductors 2: The superconducting state 3: Superconducting transition and its basic phenomenology 4: Thermodynamics and general properties 5: Advent of type-II superconductors 6: Critical current and flux pinning 7: Superconductors in abundance 8: Niobium-zirconium and niobium-titanium alloys 9: A-15 superconductors 10: Conductor development of A-15 superconductors 11: Chevrel phase superconductors 12: Rare-earth based ternary superconductors and quaternary borocarbides 13: Heavy fermion superconductors 14: Organic superconductors 15: Superconducting magnesium diboride 16: High temperature cuprate superconductors 17: Thin film technology and conductor development of HTS cuprates 18: Bulk HTS cuprates 19: Ruthenates and ruthenocuprates 20: Fe based superconductors 21: Miscellaneous superconductorsReviewsNarlikar has written a comprehensive text from a relatively novel angle: that of materials science. This book is not intended to replace such legendary texts as the one by Tinkham, but comes into its own with a concise summary of the materials and techniques used to produce superconductors ... Narlikar has done the field a service by compiling such a comprehensive text Anyone with even the slightest interest in superconductivity would benefit from having this text on his or her shelf, especially someone from a materials science background. * O. Williams, MRS Bulletin * This book fills an important void in the pedagogical superconductivity literature, where materials are often described only in the passing, only to substantiate theoretical concepts. This book is an invaluable resource as a reference book for researchers. But it will be of equal help as a supplementary text for students taking an advanced superconductivity course, who need to appreciate the material diversity associated with this phenomenon. * Pratap Raychaudhuri, Current Science * Narlikar has written a comprehensive text from a relatively novel angle: that of materials science.
