Lecture 7

The books by Wilson and Iwasa cover the bulk of the material in more detail but lack a lot of the underlying phsics. The first two references are historical, describing the early development of Type II superconducting alloys. The rest are quite technical but provide the physical principles regarding the properties of conductors, stability, protection, and shielding.
