Impact of Recent Advances in Processing of Ceramic Superconductors

by U. Balu Balachandran (Editor)

Contains papers from a May 1997 symposium, divided into sections on processing and single crystal growth, crystal structure and synthesis, phase equilibria and crystal growth, films and applications, and wires and composites. Papers address current processing techniques and methods for high temperature superconductor oxides in various forms. Specific topics include feasibility of manufacturing large domain YBCO levitators by using melt processing techniques, XRD analysis of YBCO superconductor films, development of ceramic superconductors for electric power, and superconductor transitions in glassy selenium.
