The book "Critical Currents and Ferromagnetism-Superconductivity Coexistence in High-Tc Oxides" is a comprehensive exploration of the critical currents and the coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity in high-Tc oxides. It consists of six chapters that delve into various aspects of this field. The book begins by gathering essential data on the superconducting state and the fundamental properties of conventional superconductors, followed by a recap of the basic theories of superconductivity. It then discusses the impact of structural anisotropy on the Ginzburg-Landau approach and the Lawrence-Doniach model, and addresses the dynamics of vortices and the ferromagnetism-superconductivity coexistence in high-Tc oxides. Additionally, the book provides an outline of the pinning phenomena of vortices in these materials, with a particular focus on the pinning of vortices by the spins. The objective of the book is to optimize the properties of superconducting materials for industrial applications, aiming to achieve critical temperatures and densities of critical currents at the maximum level possible. While the primary objective is to understand the basic mechanisms pushing superconductivity towards high temperatures, the secondary objective is to gain a better understanding of the pinning of vortices. This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in fundamental and engineering sciences.
