Ybco Superconductor Research Progress, Hardcover by Liang, Li-chun (EDT), ISBN 1604560835, ISBN-13 9781604560831, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

This book collects recent research on yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) superconductors, the first material to superconduct above the boiling point of nitrogen, from contributors at universities and research institutes in Asia, the US, Australia, Canada, India, South America, and Europe. An expert commentary looks at the 2-dimensional EEM theory and predictions for high-temperature superconducting properties. Research and review studies shed light on areas such as transport properties of YBCO superconductors, large-area pulsed laser deposition of YBCO thin films, cube textured nickel-based substrates for YBCO coatings, and magnetic properties and critical current of YBCO superconductors. Other topics discussed include nonlinear elasticity and the low temperature thermal expansion in LSCO and NCCO superconductors, and magnetic pinning in high-temperature superconductors. Color and b&w images are included. Information on the editor is not given. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
