The rise of the superconductors / Peter J. Ford

Public ISBD Titre : The rise of the superconductors Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter J. Ford, Auteur ; George A. Saunders, Auteur Editeur : New York : CRC Press Année de publication : 2004 Importance : 239 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7484-0772-9 Note générale : Bibliogr. [211]-228 p. Index Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : Rise  --  Superconductors Electronic  --  Applications High-temperature  --  Superconductivity Index. décimale : 621.315.59 Conducteurs à très haute résistance. Semi-conducteurs 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 Note de contenu : Sommaire: 1. The long road to the discovery of superconductivity 2. Superconductivity reveals its mysteries 3. The breakthrough to high temperature superconductivity 4. Structure of the cuprates. CuO2 layers: the genie for high temperature superconductivity 5. A diversion: quantum mechanics, atoms and the free electron theory of metals 6. What causes superconductivity? 7. The giant quantum state and Josephson effects 8. Applications of superconductors: enabling technologies of the 21st century 9. Electronic applications of high temperature superconductors 10.Organic superconductors enter the race for the top 11.The continuing search for the physical origin of high-temperature superconductivity The rise of the superconductors [texte imprimé] / Peter J.
