Enhancement of Superconductivity

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 65))

Abstract

The term ‘enhancement of superconductivity’ can have different meanings. A materials scientist will use it when he alters the composition or structure of a metal to obtain a material with a higher critical temperature. We will, on the other hand, devote our attention to physical processes in which the superconducting properties of a given material are enhanced by external influences.
