With its comprehensive review of the current knowledge and the future requirements in the field, this book presents all the features of bulk high temperature superconducting materials. Starting from physical and chemical fundamentals, the authors move on to portray methods and problems of materials processing, thoroughly working out the characteristic properties of bulk superconductors in contrast to long conductors and films. They provide a wide range of specific materials characteristics with respect to the latest developments and future applications guiding from fundamentals to practical engineering examples. The authors are all leading international specialists involved in the field of high TC superconductor bulk materials since the beginning. Of utmost interest to engineers, scientists, and PhD students working in this field.
This wide-ranging presentation of applied superconductivity, from fundamentals and materials right up to the details of many applications, is an essential reference for physicists and engineers in academic research as well as in industry. Readers looking for a comprehensive overview on basic effects related to superconductivity and superconducting materials will expand their knowledge and understanding of both low and high Tc superconductors with respect to their application. Technology, preparation and characterization are covered for bulk, single crystals, thins fi lms as well as electronic devices, wires and tapes. The main benefit of this work lies in its broad coverage of significant ap...
The International Symposium on Superconductivity, which has been held annu ally since 1988, is a forum for presenting the most up-to-date information about a broad range of research and development in superconductivity, from funda mental aspects to applications. More than 10 years have passed since the discovery of oxide superconductors and since various developments of applications began. It may be said that the prospects for application of oxide superconductors recently have opened up. Great progress has been made toward practical use, for example, of the flywheel, which uses bulk materials, and the high-performance cryo-cooled magnet made of bismuth wire. These were the results of persist...
The 12th International Symposium on Superconductivity was held in Morioka, Japan, October 17-19, 1999. Convened annually since 1988, the symposium covers the whole field of superconductivity from fundamental physics and chemistry to a variety of applications. At the 12th Symposium, a mini-symposium focusing on the two-dimensionality of high-temperature superconductors, or the c-axis transport, and a session on vortex physics were organized. There were also many reports on the recent developments of YBCO-based coated conductors both in the United States and in Japan, AC losses of wires and tapes, developments of bulk materials with strong flux pinning, the recent progress in thin film and junction technologies, and the demonstration of various electronics applications using SQUIDs, microwave devices, and single-flux-quantum (SFQ) digital devices. This volume is a valuable resource for all those working in the field of superconductivity.
This comprehensive handbook covers the diverse aspects of chemical vapor transport reactions from basic research to important practical applications. The book begins with an overview of models for chemical vapor transport reactions and then proceeds to treat the specific chemical transport reactions for the elements, halides, oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides, pnictides, among others. Aspects of transport from intermetallic phases, the stability of gas particles, thermodynamic data, modeling software and laboratory techniques are also covered. Selected experiments using chemical vapor transport reactions round out the work, making this book a useful reference for researchers and instructors in solid state and inorganic chemistry.

Chemische Transportreaktionen weisen ein gemeinsames Merkmal auf: In Gegenwart eines gasförmigen Reaktionspartners, des Transportmittels, wird eine feste oder flüssige Komponente verflüchtigt. An anderer Stelle scheidet sie sich meist in Form gut ausgebildeter Kristalle wieder ab. So ist der Chemische Transport z. B. für den Festkörperchemiker ein unentbehrliches Verfahren zur Herstellung reiner, gut kristallisierter Feststoffe. Als umfassendes Handbuch behandelt dieses Werk die vielseitigen Aspekte von Chemischen Transportreaktionen: Von der Grundlagenforschung bis hin zur praktischen Bedeutung, beispielsweise für die Funktionsweise von Halogenlampen.
Das Universum erschien bis ins 19. Jahrhundert wie ein ablaufendes mechanisches Uhrwerk. Der Schock kam im frühen 20. Jahrhundert mit dem Aufkommen der Quantenmechanik. Die Anwendung der klassischen Gesetze auf Atome führte zu hoffnungslos falschen Ergebnissen. Atome verhalten sich überhaupt nicht wie Billardkugeln: Flüssigkeiten und Feststoffe sind ein Zusammenschluss von Quantenobjekten zu makroskopischen Substanzen, aber ihre Eigenschaften flüssig oder fest lassen sich nicht von den Eigenschaften einzelner Quanten ableiten. Sie entstehen offensichtlich spontan durch kollektive Organisation auf der Makroebene (Emergenz). Das heißt: »Das Ganze ist mehr als die Summe seiner Teile.« Welch eine Überraschung, dass sich unsere Alltagswelt als ein emergentes Phänomen erweist! Wenn wir unseren Blick schärfen für das Prinzip der kollektiven Organisation, dann erkennen wir überall das Wirken von Emergenz. Dieses Arbeits- und Handbuch soll Ihnen als Werkzeug dienen, wenn Sie mit geschärftem Blick die Geheimnisse der Emergenz in unserer Welt beobachten.
