Description
Summary:How new are the high T c superconductors, as compared to the conventional low T c ones? In what sense are these oxides different from regular metals in their normal state? How different is the mechanism for high T c superconductivity from the well-known electron-phonon interaction that explains so well superconductivity in metals and alloys? What are the implications of the new features of the high T c oxides for their practical applications? This interesting book aims to provide some answers to those questions, drawing particularly on similarities between the high T c oxides and granular supe.
