Synopsis

Providing a general approach to understanding the properties of molecules and crystals and their origins, the Jahn-Teller effect is a fascinating phenomena in modern physics and chemistry. Its effect inspired one of the most important recent scientific discoveries--the concept of high-temperature superconductivity. This comprehensive volume presents the background of the theory and its key applications in physics and chemistry, as well as more recent achievements.

About this title
