Abstract

Ceramics are usually thought of as electrical insulators, and indeed a great many of them are. Since the first uses of electricity, it has been necessary to have good electrical insulators to isolate current-carrying wires. The expansion of the electrical industry and, in particular, the use of the electric telegraph required enormous numbers of porcelain insulators for telegraph poles. From 1888, ceramics based on steatite began to be used for the same purpose. Today, ceramics are still used to provide insulating supports in the power lines that crisscross the country.

The field of high-temperature superconductivity experienced unprecedented growth during the late seventies and eighties. The important aspects of much of that research have been compiled in several books. Even so the field is still producing new developments, although of a much more incremental nature, and journals are the best place to find out what is happening. The following journals deal exclusively with superconductivity.
Journal of Superconductivity since January 2006 renamed as Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism published by Springer
Superconductor Science and Technology published by IOP
Many other journals have regular contributions in the area of HTSC. The major resources are listed below.
Journal of Applied Physics published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP)
Applied Physics Letters also published by AIP. Consists of three page papers covering important developments in applied physics. A repository for many of the early papers covering processing of HTSC films.
