HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY
Bipolaron Mechanism
f Better understanding by combining the theory of superconductivity with that of bipolarons. f Explaining numerous experiments on the thermodynamic, spectroscopic and transport characteristics. f Problems and solutions for a successful exam preparation.
High temperature superconducting theory drew controversy after the discovery of superconductors at close to room temperatures. However, a consistent microscopic theory of HT superconductivity based on bipolaron mechanism leads to a better understanding of microscopic and macroscopic description. By presenting aspects of superconductivity now joined in a strict theory rather than separate models this work is especially useful for graduate students.
