| Summary: | In this first volume of the two-volume handbook, Clarke (physics, U. of California, Berkeley), Braginski (physics emeritus, Research Center Julich and the U. of Wuppertal) and contributors describe the theory, fabrication, electronics, and system issues of Superconducting Quantum Inference Devices (SQUIDs) and practical DC and RF SQUIDs. They begin with a broad phenomenological introduction with a bit of history, proceed to the theoretical foundations of DC and RF SQUIDs, techniques and materials in fabrication, analog and digital electronics, and the practicalities of DC and RF SQUIDs and system issues such as cryogenics and cabling.
