Mechanisms of Conventional and High Tc Superconductivity

This book presents the methods, established results, and recent advances in the field of superconductivity including phonic, magnetic, and electronic models. The authors focus on the phenomenon of induced superconductivity in the high-temperature ("high-Tc") oxides, particularly the high transition temperature cuprates, but also discuss a variety of low-temperature superconducting systems such as conventional materials and organics. The book links the crucial experiments with the most current theories.
