PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS I

edited by D M Ginsberg (Univ. Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)

While a great effort has been made to discover new high temperature superconductors, a large-scale, parallel effort has been made to determine the fundamental properties of these fascinating new materials. This is perhaps one of the best books in the field describing these vital properties in an organized and comprehensive manner. The authors are well known for their creative and powerful research on the new superconductors. This volume will be a useful reference for research workers and for graduate students. A subject index is also included for the user's convenience.


Contents:

  • Introduction, History, and Overview of High Temperature Superconductivity (D M Ginsberg)
  • Thermodynamic Properties, Fluctuations, and Anisotropy of High Temperative Superconductors (M B Salamon)
  • Macroscopic Magnetic Properties of High Temperature Superconductors (A P Malozemoff)
  • Neutron Scattering Studies of Structural and Magnetic Excitations in Lamellar Copper Oxides — A Review (R J Birgeneau & G Shirane)
  • Normal State Transport and Elastic Properties of High-Tc Materials and Related Compounds (P B Allen, Z Fisk & A Migliori)
  • Rare Earth and Other Substitutions in High Temperature Oxide Superconductors (J T Markert, Y Dalichaouch & M B Maple)
  • Infrared Properties of High-Tc Superconductors (T Timusk & D B Tanner)
  • Raman Scattering in High-Tc Superconductors (C Thomsen & M Cardona)


Readership: Experimental and theoretical physicists, material scientists and chemists.


"... reviews of the type presented in this book are very valuable since they summarize the state of the art in certain subjects and in particular, present a comprehensive collection of published work in the reference sections."
