High-Temperature-Superconductor Thin Films at Microwave Frequencies

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the surface impedance of oxide high-temperature superconductors, this book contrasts them with conventional superconductors like Nb3Sn. It thoroughly examines both linear and nonlinear microwave responses, integrating theoretical models with experimental findings from global research. Key aspects of superconductivity are linked to high-frequency properties, while the text also covers essential preparation, handling, and refrigeration techniques. Additionally, it explores potential applications in both passive and active microwave devices, providing a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners.
