| Résumé : |
Superconductivity is one of the most active and exciting areas of condensed matter physics research. From high-quality thin-films to friction-less transportation, the applications of superconductors in industries such as telecommunications, environment and geology, medicine, nuclear physics, and security are beginning to gain ground.
The Rise of the Superconductors is an ideological chronology of the science that has produced superconductors. Beginning with the first liquefaction of helium, the book presents the discovery of superconductivity followed by that of the Meissner effect and the development of type II superconductors. It then discusses Bednorz and Müller's Nobel prize-winning research in high temperature ceramic superconductors and the impact it created. Authors seamlessly introduce the subsequent rise of the transition temperature in superconductors and the discovery of superconductivity in organics especially in the fullerenes, a class of materials whose discovery earned the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1996.
The authors also examine the properties and theoretical developments explaining the behavior of simple superconductors, highlighting their impact on theoretical physics. Subsequent chapters analyze the technological advances, production challenges, and future directions of large- and small-scale applications, Josephson effects, the development of SQUID technology, and the specific behavior of high temperature superconductors. The Rise of the Superconductors concludes with a brief look at the struggle for technical superiority between the U.S. and Japan and commentary on the current state of the art |
