High Temperature Superconductivity: Models And Measurements - Proceedings Of The 1994 Gnsm School

The subtitle 'Models and Measurements' outlines the philosophy of the School, aimed mainly at Master and Ph.D. students in condensed matter physics and materials science. On one hand, lectures offer a systematic presentation of those theories of the High-Tc Superconductors which have been developed up to the point of making quantitative experimental predictions. On the other hand, many courses are devoted to showing how to analyze the data in terms of the theoretical concepts. In summary the aim is to build a common background for both theory- and experiment-inclined students. Theorists are encouraged to push their calculations up to the level of well-defined quantitative predictions, while experimentalists are stimulated to critically interpret their data taking full advantage of the panoply of models.
