Opis

Physics and Chemistry of Transition-Metal Oxides includes both theoretical and experimental approaches to the variety of phenomena found in the transition-metal oxides, including high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, and metal-insulator transition. These are the central issues in materials science and condensed matter physics/chemistry, and readers can obtain up-to-date information on what is happening in this field of research.
