Advances through carefully conducted quantitative work on
well designed, high quality materials characterize the
present state of high-temperature superconductivity
research. The contributions to this volume present a
theoretical and experimental overview of electronic
structure and physical properties, including anisotropic
features, of high-temperative materials, with a focus on
cuprates.
In order to enhance the understanding of the mechanisms of
superconductivity at high temperatures, this volume is
divided into theoretical and experimental parts. The
contributions to the two parts correspond to each other,
giving readers involved in either area of research activity
a reference to findingsof the other.
On the other hand, this book gives young physicists
high-level information on the present state of research,
enhanced by tutorial contributions of leading physicists in
the field.
