Matsushita T. Superconductivity and Electromagnetism 2ed 2025 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This end edition introduces to the characteristic features of electromagnetic phenomena in superconductors, demonstrating how these phenomena not only align with Maxwell’s theory but also expand its scope. By presenting examples of peculiar magnetic behaviors, the book broadens the reader’s understanding of electromagnetism and its implications in superconductivity.
The book explores key concepts such as flux pinning, responsible for non-dissipative currents in DC systems and hysteretic irreversibility in AC systems. This irreversibility, akin to friction, arises from the instability in the motion of quantized magnetic flux lines. Additionally, the longitudinal magnetic field effect is examined, highlighting its role in advancing Maxwell’s theory. Through these discussions, readers will gain insights into the dynamics of quantized magnetic flux lines and the critical current density, crucial for the practical application of superconductors
