Beschreibung:
Professor Alexandre S. Alexandrov is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Loughborough University, UK and Visiting Professor at UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil. His research focuses on high-temperature superconductivity, polarons, molecular electronics, colossal magnetoresistance and charged Bose liquids.
Written for researchers and academics, this monograph provides a detailed introduction to the strong-coupling theory of high-temperature superconductivity.
