Thermodynamics of Magnetizing Materials and SuperconductorsAuthor(s): Vladimir Kozhevnikov\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138499935, 978-1138499935\nSynopsis\nThis book will help readers understand thermodynamic properties caused by magnetic fields. Providing a concise review of time independent magnetic fields, it goes on to discuss the thermodynamic properties of magnetizing materials of different shapes, and finally, the equilibrium properties of superconductors of different shapes and also of different sizes.\n\nChapters are accompanied by problems illustrating the applications of the principles to optimize and enhance understanding. This book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers specializing in thermodynamics, solid state physics, magnetism, and superconductivity.\n\nFeatures:\n\nThe first book to provide comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics in magnetic fier
