Publisher's Synopsis
The advent of high-temperature superconductors has stimulated research and development in superconductivity and superconducting materials in general. This book contains the invited and contributed papers from the Second European Conference on Applied Superconductivity, held in July 1995. It provides an overview and in-depth coverage of the latest research results in the applications of low- and high-temperature superconductivity. Coverage includes growth and processing of bulk materials, thin-film materials, wires and tapes; applications in microwave technology, passive devices, SQUIDs and other sensors, digital and analogue devices.
