High-Temperature Superconductivity

Из предисловия: The Russian edition of this book reflected the state of the problem of high-temperature superconductivity at the beginning of 1977. It is natural, therefore, that in preparing the book for translation we should endeavor to make additions and changes that reflect the results published over the last few years. The greatest progress during this time has occurred in the understanding of the problems connected with the electron-phonon interaction in metals and with lattice stability. Therefore, the contents of Chapters 3 and 4 of the book requited the greatest changes and additions. However, the schedule requirements and limitations imposed upon the process of publishing a translated work precluded a fundamental revision of the text, and we had to limit ourselves to relatively short additions to the text and to the expansion of the references. We hope, nevertheless, that the translation of the book will be of benefit to readers and will help stimulate efforts in the solution of the important and interesting problem of high-temperature superconductivity.

Доп. информация : Это переводное издание книги `Проблема высокотемпературной сверхпроводимости' изданной в СССР в 1977 году. Книга написанна коллективом авторов, работавших над данной проблемой в отделе Гинзбурга. I first learned of the existence of this book on high-temperature superconduc­ tivity when I received a copy in the office of one of the co-editors, Prof. " Second, the current physics literature contains reports of new and astounding findings-perhaps some of these will later be recognized as precursors to achieving the "dream.
