Superconducting Technology: 10 Case Studies

Download or read book Superconducting Technology: 10 Case Studies written by K Fossheim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1991-07-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an interdisciplinary selection of timely articles which cover a wide range of superconducting technologies ranging from high tech medicine (10-12 Gauss) to multipurpose sensors, microwaves, radio engineering, magnet technology for accelerators, magnetic energy storage, and power transmission on the 109 watt scale. It is aimed primarily at the non-specialist and will be suitable as an introductory course book for those in the relevant fields and related industries. As shown in the title several examples of high-Tc applications are included. While low-Tc is still the leading technology, for instance, in cables and SQUIDS, case studies in these areas are presented.
