Superconducting Cuprates Properties, Preparation and Applications

Although cuprate compounds in the normal superconducting state share many characteristics with each other, there is as of 2008 no widely accepted theory to explain their properties. The search for a theoretical understanding of high-temperature superconductivity is widely regarded as one of the most important unsolved problems in physics, and it continues to be a topic of intense experimental and theoretical research. This book presents the latest research in the field.
