Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the International Winter School on Electronic Properties of High Temperature Superconductors, which was held March 3-10, 1990, in Kirchberg (Tyrol), Austria. This course was a sequel to three meetings on the subject of conducting polymers held there one, three and five years previously. The new topic was taken up since many of the scientists working on conducting polymers are now also actively interested in high-Tc superconductors, a research area that continues to develop at a remarkable pace. There have been numerous specialist conferences on high-Tc superconductors since their discovery by Bednorz and Muller in 1986. The Kirchberg meetings are intended as a school where experienced scientists from universities, research laboratories, and industry have the opportunity to discuss their most recent results, and where young scientists and students can learn about the present status of research in this field. The 1990 winter school was again organized in cooperation with the "Bundesministerium fur Wissenschaft in Austria and with the "Bundesministerium fur Forschung und Forschung" und Technologie" in the Federal Republic of Germany. The scientific interest was focused on the electronic structure of high-Tc superconductors and related compounds. At the beginning of each session, tutorial contributions were presented as an introduction for non-specialists. These were followed by research contributions elucidating the current state of our know ledge about high-Tc superconductors.

This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery by J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Mtllier in 1986 that the superconducting state can exist in oxides at temperatures above 30 K stimulated research in the field of superconductivity and opened up a new field of research. Within a few years a large number of cuprate superconductors with transition temperatures well above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen have been found. The possibility of using liquid nitrogen as coolant re-stimulated interest in power applications of supercon ductivity. In this book an overview of the known high-Te superconductors and their physical properties is presented. Aspects related to conductor fabrication and high-current applications are emphasised. The material should be suitable for use in graduate level courses on superconductivity. Researchers in the field may profit from the large number of tables and references describing its status at the end of 1997. An introduction to high-To superconductivity must be based on the fundamental physical principles of normal-state electrical conductivity and the well-known characteristics of conventional superconductors. In Chapter 2 this background is provided. Crystal structures, anisotropic properties and general trends of the critical temperatures of the cuprate superconductors are described in Chapters 3 and 4. The processing of superconductor powders addressed in Chapter 5 affects considerably the current-carrying capacity of high-T. wires. In Chapter 6 several fabrication techniques for superconducting wires are described. In addition, the factors limiting the transport critical currents ofhigh-Te wires are discussed.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Winter School on Electronic Properties of High-Temperature Superconductors, held between March 7-14, 1992, in Kirchberg, (Tyrol) Austria, was the sixth in a series of meetings to be held at this venue. Four of the earlier meetings were dedicated to issues in the field of conducting polymers, while the winter school held in 1990 was devoted to the new discipline of high-T c superconductivity. This year's meeting constituted a forum not only for the large number of scientists engaged in high-Tc research, but also for those involved in the new and exciting field of fullerenes. Many of the issues raised during the earlier winter schools on conducting polymers, and the last one on high-T c superconductivity, have taken on a new significance in the light of the discovery of superconducting C materials. 60 The Kirchberg meetings are organized in the style of a school where expe rienced scientists from universities, research laboratories and industry have the opportunity to discuss their most recent results, and where students and young scientists can learn about the present status of research and applications from some of the most eminent workers in their field. In common with the previous winter school on high-Tc superconductors, the of the cuprate superconductors. present one focused on the electronic properties In addition, consideration was given to related compounds which are relevant to the understanding of the electronic structure of the cuprates in the normal state, to other oxide superconductors and to fulleride superconductors.

Download or read book Electronic Properties and Mechanisms of High Tc Superconductors written by Tamio Oguchi and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1992 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Workshop took place after the International Conference on Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity - High Temperature Superconductors III (Kanazawa, 22-27 July 1991) and attracted some of the most distingusihed participants from that major event. From the conference some key areas were selected and discussed at the workshop in great detail. These include cuprate superconductors and a new class of high-T c M x C 60 . The investigation of the similarity and dissimilarity between the properties of both superconductors may lead to an understanding of the mechanism of high-T c superconductivity. Papers on the superconducting properties of the cuprate oxides related to the flux-lines and their dynamics are also included. This carefully edited volume is therefore a very readable account of some of the most important aspects of high-T c superconductivity as seen by the leading authorities in 1991. It can be highly recommended for its originality as well as its archival value.

Download or read book High Tc Superconductivity written by Nie Luo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exciton mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity in copper oxides was initially proposed by Prof. J. Bardeen. His insight is largely shared by another luminary in superconductivity, Prof. V. L. Ginzburg. The main author of the book, Dr. Nie Luo, was motivated by their insights to give a geometrical explanation to the excitonic Coulomb interaction and has developed a unique formalism to understand and predict physical properties of high-Tc superconductors. This work is supported by increasingly strong evidence for electron–hole interactions in p-type cuprates. The presence of electrons in hole-doped cuprates is revealed by the works of the authors and many others, including the late Prof. L. P. Gor’kov. The book also tries to understand the interlayer Coulomb (ILC) pairing model by the excitonic Coulomb interaction. Developed by Prof. A. J. Leggett, ILC theory shares many views with Ginzburg’s approach. The other author of the book, Prof. George H. Miley, shares with us his personal experience with Prof. Bardeen on the exciton’s role in physics problems including high-Tc superconductivity. The results and predictions of this excitonic Coulomb mechanism have been verified by an increasing number of experiments. This book summarizes the current status and fathoms future directions.
