Recent Developments in High Temperature Superconductivity: Proceedings of the 1st Polish-US Conference Held at Wrocław and Duszniki Zdrój, Poland, 11–15 September 1995

J. D. Jorgensen, D. G. Hinks, O. Chmaissem (auth.), Jan Klamut, Boyd W. Veal, Bogdan M. Dabrowski, Piotr W. Klamut (eds.)3540616314, 9783540616313

This book contains rewiev articles presenting the current status of high-temperature superconductivity research. The articles cover synthesis issues, materials properties and most fundamental theoretical problems. Applications of hightemperature superconductors are also reflected in several contributions. The book addresses researchers working in fundamental research in solid-state physics as well as engineers developing new materials for industrial applications.
