Theory of Copper Oxide SuperConductors

This is an advanced textbook for graduate students and researchers wishing to learn about high temperature superconductivity in copper oxides, in particular the Kamimura-Suwa (K-S) model. Because a number of models have been proposed since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity by Bednorz and MÃ1/4ller in 1986, the book first explains briefly the historical development that led to the K-S model. It then focuses on the physical background necessary to understand the K-S model and on the basic principles behind various physical phenomena such as electronic structures, electrical, thermal and optical properties, and the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity.Kamimura, Hiroshi is the author of 'Theory of Copper Oxide SuperConductors', published 2005 under ISBN 9783540251897 and ISBN 3540251898.
