SQUIDs.The transport of electric charge through most materials is well described in terms of their electronic band structure. The present book deals with two cases where the charge transport in a solid is not described by the simple band structure picture of the solid. These cases are related to the phenomena of the quantum Hall effect and superconductivity.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Richard A. Dunlap received a BS in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, an AM in Physics from Dartmouth College and a PhD in Physics from Clark University. He currently holds an appointment as Research Professor in the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University. His previous books include; Experimental Physics: Modern Methods, The Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Numbers, An Introduction to the Physics of Nuclei and Particles, Sustainable Energy, Novel Microstructures for Solids, Particle Physics, The M?ossbauer Effect and Lasers and Their Application to the Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensates.Title from PDF title page (viewed on October 7, 2019).
