Download or read book Microstructures and Structural Defects in High-temperature Superconductors written by Zhi-Xiong Cai and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an extensive introduction to the microstructures and structural defects in high-temperature superconductors in a consistent manner. It illustrates the application of modern experimental techniques as well as theoretical modeling tools in the study of these complex materials. The book also gives the reader an overview of the efforts involved in developing large-scale (high-current, high-field) applications for high-T(c) superconductors.
