Physics of High-Temperature Superconductors: Proceedings of the Toshiba International School of Superconductivity (Its2), Kyoto, Japan, July 15-20, 19

Advances through carefully conducted quantitative work on well designed, high quality materials characterize the present state of high-temperature superconductivity research. The contributions to this volume present a theoretical and experimental overview of electronic structure and physical properties, including anisotropic features, of high-temperative materials, with a focus on cuprates. In order to enhance the understanding of the mechanisms of superconductivity at high temperatures, this volume is divided into theoretical and experimental parts. The contributions to the two parts correspond to each other, giving readers involved in either area of research activity a reference to findingsof the other. On the other hand, this book gives young physicists high-level information on the present state of research, enhanced by tutorial contributions of leading physicists in the field.

For active researchers as well as young scientists in the field of high-temperature superconductivity, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the present state of research activity. Emphasis is placed on theoretical and experimental results concerning electronic and physical properties of cuprates.
