Download or read book Quaternary Borocarbides, Superconductors and Hg-based High Tc Superconductors written by Anant Narlikar and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine technical papers devoted primarily to the carbides, the discovery of which has been a major event in the field of superconductors during the past five years. They also include some extended treatments and reviews relating to the mercury-based, highest-temperature superconducting material discovered to date. The specific topics include the discovery of the system, the interrelation between magnetism and superconductivity, the dependency of superconductivity and magnetism on material parameters, properties of the thin films, synthesizing and characterizing the intermetallic compound, and what the magnetic properties of mercury cuprate high-temperature superconductors reveal.
