Comprehensive and easy to understand, this introductory text on superconductivity was especially written for the non-specialist. The author, an active researcher in the field for more than forty years, presents the fundamental considerations (without too much mathematics), describes the various phenomena connected with the superconducting state, provides experimental facts and discusses numerous examples for modern applications. The new high-temperature superconductors are also dealt with in detail.
For almost two decades now, the German version of this book - currently in its fifth edition - has been one of the bestselling standard works on superconductivity.
