Description

The recent discovery of superconductivity at temperatures above 95 K is one of the most important scientific events of the past decade -- a discovery that presents the possibility of superconductivity at temperatures at or above room temperature. The Superconductivity Sourcebook provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and highly authoritative overview of this re-emerging technology.

The Superconductivity Sourcebook features more than 600 superconductivity-related definitions, acronyms, and references. It gives the specialist everything that's needed to understand superconductivity --from the latest and most significant applications to a market potential analysis; as well as an update on the status of commercialization. All in all, more than 1400 individual points of contact are delineated throughout the book for the manager, physicist, engineer, or scientist seeking accurate information on superconductivity.
