Mechanisms of Conventional and High Tc Superconductivity

Zusatztext a valuable desk reference ... The writing is clear and concise. There are plenty of figures in the description of experimental data. I recommend this book. Klappentext Superconductivity has become one of the most intensely studied physical phenomena of our times! with tremendous potential to revolutionize fields as diverse as computing and transportation. This book describes the methods! established results! and recent advances in the field. The goal is topresent recently developed theoretical models in light of the long-sought aim of achieving the effect at very high temperatures. The book includes a detailed review of various mechanisms! including phononic! magnetic! and electronic models. The authors focus on the phenomenon of inducedsuperconductivity in the high-temperature oxides! particularly the high-transition-temperature cuprates. They also discuss a variety of low-temperature superconducting systems in conventional materials and organics. The book links the crucial experiments with the most current theories! offering aunified description of the phenomenon. All researchers (and graduate-level) students involved with work in superconductivity will find this an invaluable resource! including solid-state and condensed-matter physicists and chemists! and materials scientists. Zusammenfassung Presents the methods, established results, and advances in the field of superconductivity including phonic, magnetic, and electronic models. The authors focus on the phenomenon of induced superconductivity in the high-temperature ("high-Tc") oxides, particularly the high transition temperature cuprates.
