Summary

1. "This book covers the entire field of superconductivity from both the theoretical and the experimental point of view. It contains all the major subfields, including the classical superconductors, the high temperature superconductors that were discovered in 1986, and the more recently discovered types such as magnesium diboride and the borocarbides which are currently under intensive investigation worldwide. There are long lists of tabulated data for the various types of superconductors, and over 2,500 references to the literature. In addition, this book is written in a format that it could be used as a textbook."--Jacket.
