Introduction to superconducting circuits

Edición de la obra Introduction to superconducting circuits

From the Back Cover: Superconductivity made accessible - a unique introduction. Does superconductivity have to be hard to understand? No, says Alan Kadin, as he proceeds to make the field accessible to engineers, applied physicists, even undergraduate students in electrical engineering. Setting advanced theories aside, Dr. Kadin uses simple circuit models to develop an understanding of the physics of superconductors, thenapplies this knowledge to superconducting circuits and systems. Topics include: The central role of inductance and kinetic inductance. Transmission line model for RF and DC properties. Dual circuit transformations to follow vortex and fluxon motion. A balanced coverage of low-Tc and high-Tc superconductors. Both large-scale (power) and small-scale (electronics) applications. Superconducting devices for electromagnetic radiation detectors.
