内容简介：
High temperature superconductors (HTS) offer many advantages through their application in electrical systems, including high efficiency performance and high throughput with low electrical losses. While cryogenic cooling and precision materials manufacture is required to achieve this goal, cost reductions without significant performance loss are being achieved through advanced design, development and manufacture of HTS equipment. This book explores the fundamental science and engineering of HTS components - such as wires and tapes, cables, coils and magnets - and reviews the energy applications these materials are used in, from power systems and rotating machinery to fusion and accelerator technologies.
