It focuses on transport in one-dimensional superconductors, describing relevant theories with particular emphasis on experimental results. It closely relates these results to the emergence of various novel fabrication techniques. The book closes by discussing future perspectives, and the connection and relevance to other physical systems, including superfluidity, Bose-Einstein condensates, and possibly cosmic strings. 606 $aLow-dimensional semiconductors 606 $aNanostructured materials 606 $aNanowires 606 $aNanowires$xElectric properties 606 $aSuperconductivity 615 4$aLow-dimensional semiconductors. 615 4$aNanostructured materials. 615 4$aNanowires. 615 0$aNanowires$xElectric properties 615 0$aSuperconductivity 676 $a620.115 700 $aAltomare$b Fabio$0924319 701 $aChang$b Albert M$0924320 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139022303321 996 $aOne-Dimensional Superconductivity in Nanowires$92074223 997 $aUNINA
