Perovskites and High Tc Superconductors

By F. Galasso

This is a compendium of research on perovskite-type compounds, ranging from the discovery of barium titanate's ferroelectric properties in 1945 to recent developments and modern applications. A working knowledge of these compounds is essential for research and development in such areas as thermistors, infrared windows, laser technology, and several important emerging fields that rely upon superconductors. Students and researchers involved in the preparation of solid-state materials will benefit from the insightful data given here, including information on structure, x-ray diffraction, conductivity, ferroelectricity, phase transitions, ferromagnetism, optical and other properties, and oxide preparation, as well as new information on high T c superconductors.
