A number of macroscopic
manifestations of superconducting phenomena (such as zero electrical
resistance, the expulsion of magnetic fields and the Josephson effect) have
resulted in a proliferation of applications in engineering and electronics.
This book takes a practical, pedagogical approach to understanding the
electromagnetic properties of superconducting materials. The reader is provided
with a set of ready-to-use interactive tools to engage with topics such as
vanishing resistivity, magnetic flux expulsion, flux pinning, critical
currents, flux quantization and more. Aimed at high level undergraduate and
graduate physicists and engineers, this book is ideal for early researchers studying
macroscopic superconductivity.
Key Features:
- A practical and
interactive guide to newcomers in the field of superconductivity
- Provides an introductory
approach to macroscopic superconducting phenomena
- Provides interactive
programs that use case studies to obtain realistic, quantitative results under
different approximations
- Includes software that is
straightforward for the reader to use and self-upgrade
