With the high-temperature superconductors a qualitatively new regime in the
phenomenology of type-II superconductivity can be accessed. The key elements governing …

Superfluidity and Superconductivity, Third Edition introduces the low-temperature
phenomena of superfluidity and superconductivity from a unified viewpoint. The book …

The effects of thermal fluctuations, quenched disorder, and anisotropy on the phases and
phase transitions in type-II superconductors are examined, focusing on linear and nonlinear …

Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

We review experimental studies of the time decay of the nonequilibrium magnetization in
high-temperature superconductors, a phenomenon known as magnetic relaxation. This …

The possibility of a new thermodynamic phase in the mixed state of bulk, disordered, type-II
superconductors is suggested: a vortex-glass superconductor. This phase lacks …

The dissipation below T c has been studied for representatives of all classes of cuprate high-
temperature superconductors, including Ba 2 YCu 3 O 7− δ, and Bi and Tl compounds. The …

We demonstrate experimentally the existence of a continuous phase transition between a
normal and a true superconducting phase (with zero linear resistivity) in epitaxial films of Y …

Superconductivity: Physics and Applications brings together major developments that have
occurred within the field over the past twenty years. Taking a truly modern approach to the …

The melting transition in twinned and untwinned single crystals is measured resistively in
fields up to 8 T as a function of the angle between the c axis and the ab plane. The angular …
