High Magnetic Fields: v.2: Science and Technology: Vol 2

This three-volume book provides a comprehensive review of experiments in very strong magnetic fields that can only be generated with very special magnets. The first volume is entirely devoted to the technology of laboratory magnets: permanent, superconducting, high-power water-cooled and hybrid; pulsed magnets, both nondestructive and destructive (megagauss fields). Volumes 2 and 3 contain reviews of the different areas of research where strong magnetic fields are an essential research tool. These volumes deal primarily with solid-state physics; other research areas covered are biological systems, chemistry, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear resonance, plasma physics and astrophysics (including QED).

"On the whole, this book appears to be edited with great care. The English is consistently of excellent quality, there are almost no printing errors and there is an excellent index in each volume. All chapters have been written by experts in the respective subjects, and contain a tutorial introduction that makes them more accessible to the non-specialist."

?The articles are all of good quality ... It will be of interest to specialists in high field studies.?
