"Superconductors: Properties, Technology, and Applications" ed. by Yury Grigorashvili

This book gives an overview of major problems encountered in this field of study. Most of the material presented in this book is the result of authors' own research that has been carried out over a long period of time. The sourcebook comprehensively covers the advanced techniques and concepts of superconductivity. It's intended for a wide range of readers.

A number of chapters thoroughly describe the fundamental electrical and structural properties of the superconductors as well as the methods researching those properties.
