Since the first days of high-T c superconductivity, the materials science and the physics of
grain boundaries in superconducting compounds have developed into fascinating fields of …

Superfluidity and Superconductivity, Third Edition introduces the low-temperature
phenomena of superfluidity and superconductivity from a unified viewpoint. The book …

Previous work on the superconducting transport properties of individual grain boundaries in
thin-film bicrystals of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 has been extended to provide a more comprehensive …

When a force deforms an elastic object, practical experience suggests that the resulting
displacement will be in the same direction as the force. This property is known as positive …

We review experimental studies of the time decay of the nonequilibrium magnetization in
high-temperature superconductors, a phenomenon known as magnetic relaxation. This …

In the past few years magneto-optical flux imaging (MOI) has come to take an increasing role
in the investigation and understanding of critical current densities in high-T c …

The advent of high-T c superconductors gave great impetus to the development of thin-film
superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) for operation at temperatures up to …

Bi2 Sr2 Ca1 Cu2 O8+ x/Ag wires have been produced by using the ''powder in tube''method
and an appropriate annealing procedure. At 77 K these wires yield critical current densities …

We describe the voltage‐current characteristics of YBa2Cu3O7− δ epitaxial films within the
flux creep model in a manner consistent with the resistive transition behavior. The …

The inspirations for this book probably began in 1961 when I left a promising career as a
semiconductor device engineer in the Rte 128 cauldron of the Boston area to pursue a new …
