The author reviews some of the important successes achieved by Eliashberg theory in
describing the observed superconducting properties of many conventional superconductors …

Since the discovery of superconductivity above 30 K by Bednorz and Müller in the La copper
oxide system, the critical temperature has been raised to 90 K in Y Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7 and to 110 …

This is a revised version of the first edition published in 1991. At the same time, this is a
revised version of the Syokabo edition, which was written in Japanese and published in …

Electronic energy bands calculated from local-density-functional (LDF) theory are used to
predict anisotropic transport properties of the oxide superconductors La 2− x Sr x CuO 4 and …

We present a lattice-dynamical calculation of the phonon dispersion curves and the one-
phonon density of states of the high-T c superconductor YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x in the framework …

Self-consistent linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) method calculations of the band
structure, density of states, Fermi surface, Coulomb potential, charge density, core-level …

The temperature-dependent thermal-difference reflectance (TDR) spectra of thin-film
samples of Tl 2 Ba 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10,(BiPb) 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10, Tl 2 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O 8 …

A comprehensive analysis of soliton states localized near a plane defect (a defect layer)
possessing nonlinear properties is carried out within a quasiclassical approach for different …

The self-energy of phonons due to superconductivity is calculated in the weak and the
strong coupling limit. Applying the theory to YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ we find the following results …

We review the specific heat measurements on La 2 CuO 4, La 2− x M x CuO 4 (M= Ca, Sr,
and Ba), YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7, and the Bi-Ca-Sr-Cu-O and Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O systems. Tables of …
