Description
Book SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to offer the high-Tc community a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review on bulk processing with the hope that the book would serve in part as an updated review for expert scientists and in part as a reference/text book on processing for young scientists/graduate students and those who wish to keep track of advances and technological trends in HTSC.Readers in the superconductor science/technology/education areas will find this book prepared by the world's leading experts informative and useful.
