Strong-Coupling Theory of High-Temperature Superconductivity

Informationen zum Autor Professor Alexandre S. Alexandrov is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Loughborough University, UK and Visiting Professor at UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil. His research focuses on high-temperature superconductivity, polarons, molecular electronics, colossal magnetoresistance and charged Bose liquids. Klappentext Written for researchers and academics, this monograph provides a detailed introduction to the strong-coupling theory of high-temperature superconductivity. Zusammenfassung High-temperature superconductivity has transformed solid state science; however there is no single accepted theory to explain its origin. This book introduces the strong-coupling or bipolaron theory and is aimed at researchers and academics. It provides a thorough and balanced overview of the theory! discussing experimental observations! applications and alternative theories. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
