Introduction to Superconductivity, Second Edition

The author's purpose in this book is to provide a modern version of Shoeberg's classic work on the subject, which appeared over 30 years ago. They have succeeded admirably; the volume is ideally suited for use as a textbook....the work can be recommended without reservation.

Introduction to Superconductivity has become an essential part of many undergraduate courses. This revised edition has a new chapter covering high temperature superconductivity as well as a significant number of other updates and revisions. The authors have aimed to explain as clearly as possible the basic phenomena and concepts of superconductivity in a manner which will be understood by those with no previous knowledge of the field and only a modest acquaintance with solid state physics. Their success in this aim can be measured by the widespread acceptance of this book as one of the finest textbooks in the field
