{"product_id":"9781107357457","title":"Strong-Coupling Theory of High-Temperature Superconductivity","description":"High-temperature superconductivity has transformed the landscape of solid state science, leading to the discovery of new classes of materials, states of matter, and concepts. However, despite being over a quarter of a century since its discovery, there is still no single accepted theory to explain its origin. This book presents one approach, the strong-coupling or bipolaron theory, which proposes that high-temperature superconductivity originates from competing Coulomb and electron-phonon interactions. The author provides a thorough overview of the theory, describing numerous experimental observations, and giving detailed mathematical derivations of key theoretical findings at an accessible level. Applications of the theory to existing high-temperature superconductors are discussed, as well as possibilities of liquid superconductors and higher critical temperatures. Alternative theories are also examined to provide a balanced and informative perspective. This monograph will appeal to advanced researchers and academics in the fields of condensed matter physics and quantum-field theories.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128262934768,"sku":"9781107357457","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781107357457_p0.jpg?v=1763691323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781107357457","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
