Physics and Chemistry of Oxide Superconductors

High temperature superconductivity is still one of the mostdiscussed topicsin physics. "e;The Physics and Chemistry ofOxide Superconductors "e; collects together more than onehundred original contributions presented during the 2ndInternational Symposium of the Institute for Solid StatePhysics of the University of Tokyo. The main topics cover new insights into the basic mechanismof high temperature superconductivity, recent developmentsof new superconducting materials, the state of the art ofthin film production,theoretical understanding of theelectronic structures in this kind of material, theories forstrongly correlated electron systems, and many physical andchemical effects.
