Applications

This symposium proceedings volume covers the science and processing of high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) oxide compounds — materials such as YBCO (YBa₂Cu₃O₇) and related cuprate systems that were the subject of intense worldwide research following the landmark discoveries of the mid-1980s. The papers address synthesis routes, fabrication techniques, microstructural characterization, and the physical and electrical properties relevant to practical applications of these materials. It is a reference work for materials scientists, metallurgists, physicists, and engineers working in superconductor research, advanced materials development, and condensed matter science. The volume is also of interest to academic libraries and historians of science documenting the rapid early development of high-temperature superconductor technology in the late 1980s.
