Springer Electronic Properties of Inorganic Quasi-1D Compounds

Explore the fundamental theories of materials science with this specialized volume from Springer. Part I of this two-volume set focuses on the theoretical aspects of inorganic quasi-one-dimensional compounds. This text provides a comprehensive review of the basic theories that describe the physical properties of one-dimensional materials, including their superconducting characteristics. Designed for researchers, solid state chemists, and physicists, the content examines the close relationship between experimental and theoretical work in the field. Much of the discussion centers on the properties of transition metal trichalcogenides and the novel collective transport mechanisms for electronic conduction found in certain structures. This book serves as an essential resource for understanding the physics and chemistry of materials with unique one-dimensional structures.
