Download or read book High-Tc Copper Oxide Superconductors and Related Novel Materials written by Annette Bussmann-Holder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by many of the world's leading experts on high-Tc superconductivity, this volume presents a panorama of ongoing research in the field, as well as insights into related multifunctional materials. The contributions cover many different and complementary aspects of the physics and materials challenges, with an emphasis on superconducting materials that have emerged since the discovery of the cuprate superconductors, for example pnictides, MgB2, H2S and other hydrides. Special attention is also paid to interface superconductivity. In addition to superconductors, the volume also addresses materials related to polar and multifunctional ground states, another class of materials that owes its discovery to Prof. Müller's ground-breaking research on SrTiO3.
