One-Dimensional Conductors

Edición de la obra One-Dimensional Conductors

This monograph presents a broad survey of the physics of quasi one-dimensional conductors. An introductory chapter provides a bridge between usual textbooks on solid-state physics and later chapters dealing with experimental results in real materials. Problems relating to the Peierls instability, organic superconductivity, dynamics of charge-density waves, and conducting polymers are described in detail. Very recent topics such as high-transition-temperature organic superconductivity are included. A particular feature of this book is the introductory chapter for students. It gives them the necessary theoretical basis to understand the experimental results. Moreover, in the chapters that present experimental results, the principles of each kind of measurement are described as fully as possible. This will be useful not only for students but also for specialists who are not familiar with other experimental methods.
