About this book

Nobel laureate P. W. Anderson presents his explanation of high-temperature superconductivity in copper-oxide materials. The book examines why familiar theories of metallic behaviour struggle with the cuprates, then develops the theoretical ideas needed to describe their normal and superconducting states.

A specialist work for readers with a background in condensed-matter physics, combining theoretical argument, experimental evidence and research papers by Anderson and collaborators. Part of the Princeton Series in Physics.
