This book presents a complete encyclopedia of superconducting fluctuations, summarising
the last thirty-five years of work in the field. The first part of the book is devoted to an …

Superconducting (SC) fluctuations, discovered in the late 1960s, have constituted an
important research area in superconductivity as they are manifest in a variety of phenomena …

We calculate the contribution of superconducting fluctuations to thermal transport in the
normal state, at low magnetic fields. We do so in the Gaussian approximation to their critical …

The problem of how high pressure impacts various electric transport mechanisms in HTSC
compounds REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ (RE= Y, or another rare-earth ion) is considered. The …

During the last decade a lot of efforts have been undertaken to explain the unusual normal
state properties of high temperature superconductors (HTS) in the framework of …

The thermoelectric effects which may be observed in the superconducting state are
considered. The circulation heat transfer and the appearance of a thermoelectric …

Reading a major part of the textbooks one can have impression that the BCS theory of
superconductivity is the exact one. Proposed review dispels this delusion, clearly indicating …

We present measurements of thermal conductivity (κ) in the ab plane of untwinned YBa 2 Cu
3 O 7− δ (δ≊ 0.10) for T≤ 200 K. κ has been measured with heat flow along both the a and b …

Characterization of the Bi1. 6Pb0. 4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oγ composition of high-Tc superconductor,
using XRD, SEM/EDAX, EPR, χAC and ϱ (T) techniques, has confirmed that the sample is of …

Abstract Structure examination, resistivity, and thermopower measurements were made on
samples of Bi 1.75 Pb 0.35 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O y sintered for different time periods …
