The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity has resulted in a remarkable growth in the amount of research and the number of researchers working in this exciting field. Superconductivity is not a new phenomenon: in 1991 it will be 80 years old. Even though it was the newer discoveries which motivated us to write this book, the book itself is mainly a description of the fundamentals of the phenomenon. The book is written for a very broad audience, including students, engin eers, teachers, scientists, and others who are interested in learning about this exciting frontier of science. We have focused on the qualitative aspects, so that the reader can develop a basic understanding of the fundamental physics without getting bogged down in the details. Because of this approach, our list of refer ences is not comprehensive, and it is supplemented with a summary of additional reading consisting of monographs and selected review articles. (The articles we have referenced were either not reflected in the review articles on monographs or were milestones in the development of the field. ) In addition, some of the sections which can be skipped during the first reading have been marked with asterisks (*). Until recently, superconductivity was considered to belong to the field of low-temperature physics. This field was born, simultaneously with quantum physics, at the beginning of this century. Initially these two contemporaneous fields developed independently, but they soon became strongly coupled.
The Super Sleuths, in the midst of perfecting their grand finale for the end-of-year school prom, find their preparations taking an unexpected turn. Their search for costumes and props at an uncle’s house leads to a serendipitous encounter with an ancient artefact, catapulting them from their familiar stage into the bewildering realm of Fairy Tales. In this alternate world, familiar characters take on unforeseen roles, guided by the sinister forces of villains from the children’s past adventures. This motley crew of adversaries, blending the real with the fantastical, launches a vindictive crusade aimed at halting the Sleuths in their tracks. Their malevolent plot threatens to end not just the escapades of our young heroes but their very lives. As the lines between tales and reality blur, the Super Sleuths must navigate this twisted fairy tale world to save themselves and preserve the magic of their story. This thrilling adventure tests their wit, courage, and friendship, promising a climax that seeks to bring down the curtain on their journey in the most dramatic of fashions.”
