High temperature superconductors, such as La2-xSrxCuOx (Tc=40K) and YBa2Cu3O7-x (Tc=90K), were discovered in 1987 and have been actively studied since. In spite of an intense, world-wide, research effort during this time, a complete understanding of the copper oxide (cuprate) materials is still lacking. Many fundamental questions are unanswered, particularly the mechanism by which high-Tc superconductivity occurs. More broadly, the cuprates are in a class of solids with strong electron-electron interactions. An understanding of such \"strongly correlated\" solids is perhaps the major unsolved problem of condensed matter physics with over ten thousand researchers working on this topic.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886603907415,"sku":"9781600216947","price":149.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/progress-in-superconductivity-research-9781600216947","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
