Synopsis
This book is intended for postgraduate students, researchers and engineers engaged in research into oxide conductors. It presents an overview of electronic transport phenomena, including a discussion of high-Tc superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance in two chapters, one of which reviews all the conducting oxides. In another nine chapters representative oxides are discussed in detail. Since electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions greatly influence conducting properties, two chapters are devoted to their explanation. More than 1200 references will serve as a useful guide to those entering into this vast field of research.
Booknews
A revision and translation of the 1983 Japanese edition, published as part of the Materials Science Series for graduate students, updated to account for the subsequent discovery of high-temperature superconductors. Covers all aspects of how electrons move through oxides, including reviews of electron transport in general and related physics concepts. Assumes a fair degree of familiarity with solid state physics. The comprehensiveness makes it suitable as a reference for professionals as well as a textbook. Annotation c.
