The Physics and Chemistry of Oxide Superconductors: Proceedings of the Second ISSP International Symposium, Tokyo, Japan, January 16 - 18, 1991 (Springer Proceedings in Physics)

High temperature superconductivity is still one of the most discussed topicsin physics. "The Physics and Chemistry of Oxide Superconductors " collects together more than one hundred original contributions presented during the 2nd International Symposium of the Institute for Solid State Physics of the University of Tokyo. The main topics cover new insights into the basic mechanism of high temperature superconductivity, recent developments of new superconducting materials, the state of the art of thin film production,theoretical understanding of the electronic structures in this kind of material, theories for strongly correlated electron systems, and many physical and chemical effects.
