This book provides a modern introduction to the growth, characterization, and physics of iron-based superconducting thin films. Iron pnictide and iron chalcogenide compounds have become intensively studied key materials in condensed matter physics due to their potential for high temperature superconductivity. With maximum critical temperatures of around 60 K, the new superconductors rank first after the celebrated cuprates, and the latest announcements on ultrathin films promise even more. Thin film synthesis of these superconductors began in 2008 immediately after their discovery, and this growing research area has seen remarkable progress up to the present day, especially with regard to th...
This compact undergraduate textbook provides a concise yet thorough introduction to the fundamentals of solid-state physics, while also briefly discussing the historical context surrounding key scholars in the field. The vivid explanations and unique didactic approach adopted in the book aim to generate interest in these subjects while also serving as a motivating primer and supporting companion for studying more detailed and advanced textbooks in solid-state physics. The book is also suitable as a quick refresher for students preparing for examinations. The third edition features many extensions, including an up-to-date discussion of topological materials, a rapidly developing area at the forefront of solid-state physics. Primarily concentrating on the electric and magnetic properties of materials, the book will benefit undergraduate students in the fields of physics, materials science, and electrical engineering.
Das vorliegende Buch gibt eine kompakte Einführung in die Grundlagen der Festkörperphysik, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den elektrischen und magnetischen Materialeigenschaften liegt. Leser werden nicht nur die kompakte und anschauliche Herangehensweise schätzen, sondern auch die kurzen Abschnitte über die Forschungsgeschichte der Festkörperphysik, die mit wegweisenden Forschern wie Max Planck, Albert Einstein aber auch Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, Eugene Wigner oder Frederick Seitz verbunden ist. Diese helfen dabei, die Entwicklung der Festkörperphysik und ihre unterschiedlichen Theorien und Modelle verstehen und einordnen zu können. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Physik, Ingenieurwissenschaften und Materialwissenschaften bis zum Bachelor. Es kann durch seine anschaulichen Erklärungen und seinen didaktischen Ansatz auch als motivierende Vorstufe und unterstützendes Begleitwerk beim Studium anspruchsvollerer Lehrbücher der Festkörperphysik benutzt werden. Die zweite Auflage wurde korrigiert und um Abschnitte zu magnetische Verunreinigungen und dem Kondo-Effekt ergänzt.
Rudolf P. Huebener presents the field of superconductivity research in a clear and compact way. He vividly describes how this area has developed in many directions since the discovery of superconductivity more than 100 years ago. This concerns materials, experiments on the physical principles, theoretical understanding and technical applications. Among other things, the essential deals with the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect, magnetic flux quantization, the Josephson effect, the BCS theory and high-temperature superconductivity. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Geschichte und Theorie der Supraleiter by Rudolf P. Huebener, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2017. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Übersichtlich und kompakt stellt Rudolf P. Huebener das Forschungsgebiet der Supraleitung vor. Er schildert anschaulich, wie sich dieser Bereich seit Entdeckung der Supraleitung vor über 100 Jahren in viele Richtungen sehr lebendig entwickelt hat. Dies betrifft die Materialien, Experimente zu den physikalischen Grundlagen, das theoretische Verständnis sowie die technischen Anwendungen. Unter anderem geht das essential auf den Meissner-Ochsenfeld-Effekt, die magnetische Fluss-Quantisierung, den Josephson-Effekt, die BCS-Theorie sowie die Hochtemperatur-Supraleitung ein.

This volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series contains the papers presented at the S+SSPR 2010 Workshops, which was the seventh occasion that SPR and SSPR workshops have been held jointly. S+SSPR 2010 was organized by TC1 and TC2, Technical Committees of the International Association for Pattern Recognition(IAPR), andheld inCesme, Izmir, whichis a seaside resort on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The conference took place during August 18–20, 2010, only a few days before the 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) which was held in Istanbul. The aim of the series of workshops is to create an international forum for the presentation of the lates...
