The present book aims at describing the phenomenon of superconductivity andhightemperature superconductors discovered by Bednorz and Muller in 1986. Thebook covers the superconductivity phenomenon structure of highTcsuperconductors critical currents synthesis routes for high Tc materialssuperconductivity in cuprates the proximity effect and SQUIDs theories ofsuperconductivity and applications of superconductors. TOC1. The phenomenonoccurrence and characteristics. 2. Crystal structure of high temperaturesuperconductors. 3. Critical Current. 4. Synthesis of high Tcsuperconductor. 5. Superconductivity in Cuprate HTSCs. 6. The Proximity andJosephson effects. 7. Theories of superconductivity. 8. Applications ofsuperconductivity. «
