Description

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date�description of the Josephson effect, a topic of never-ending interest in both�fundamental and�applied physics. �In this volume, world-renowned experts�present the unique aspects of the physics of the Josephson effect, resulting�from the use of�new materials, of hybrid architectures and from the possibility�of realizing nanoscale junctions. These new experimental capabilities lead to�systems where novel coherent phenomena and transport processes emerge. All this is of�great relevance and impact, especially when combined with the�didactic approach�of the book. The reader will benefit from a general and modern view of coherent�phenomena in weakly-coupled superconductors�on a macroscopic scale.��Topics that have been only recently discussed in specialized papers and�in short reviews are described here for the first�time and organized in a�generalframework. An important section of the book is also devoted to�applications, with focus on long-term, future�applications. In addition to a�significant number of illustrations, the book includes numerous tables for�comparative studies on technical aspects.�Typham this is the title: Fundamentals and Frontiers of the Josephson Effect
