Superconductive Tunnelling and Applications

The book begins with a 20 page introduction to superconductivity and tunnelling. The next 100 pages concern quasi-particle (or normal electron) tunnelling and include chapters on the basic characteristics, on special tunnelling effects (two particle, and phonon and photon assisted tunnelling), diagnostic applications (used for measuring the energy gap, etc) and a chapter on device applications (generation and detection of both electromagnetic radiation and phonons, thermometry, etc).
