DESCRIPTION:
Magnetic and superconducting materials have much in common; they have both experienced, over the last decade, a revolution that has revitalised and galvanised their respective fields. This Concise Encyclopedia draws together for the first time in a single volume the remarkable advances seen in recent years in the discovery of new materials and improvements of existing materials, in the elucidation of a new and deeper understanding of their phenomenology and in the expansion and diversification of their application in technology. Magnetic and superconducting materials pervade every avenue of the technological world from microelectronics and mass-data storage to medicine and heavy engineering. In each case the impetus has come from the discovery of new materials; this, in turn, has stimulated a re-evaluation of a wide range of basic mechanisms and phenomena. Each article discusses in turn one aspect of the subject and includes, where appropriate, photograp
RAO"The encyclopedia is of considerable value to students, teachers and practitioners since almost all aspects of magnetic and supercoonducting materials have been covered indetail. This book fills the gap admirably and will probably be found valuable by a large range of scientists" --Advanced Materials, C.N.R. The presentation are concise and more than adequate for the purpose intended. "The volume will be of particular value to materials scientists and those intersted in the properties and applications of magnetic and superconducting materials. A highly recommended reference book." --High Tech Ceramics News"The book is remarkably easy to use and information is found very quickly There are few enough single volume reference works which treat fundamentals and applications, either for superconductivity or magnetism, on an equal footing. The technical coverage is sound as expected of contributions from experts in the subject The enc
"Covers all aspects of area in letter-length passages" according to black@meso.phys.nwu.edu. This book provides an in-depth yet accesible insight into the nature of magnetic and superconducting materials. The format is that of an alphabetical list of topics relating to magnetism and superconductivity. Typically 5 or so pages long, these individual topics provide the time-pressured researcher with quickly digestible infobytes that get straight to the point. Unlik
