Towards the theoretical understanding of high Tc superconductors

This book contains the proceedings of the Adriatico Research Conference and Workshop on Forwards the Theoretical Understanding of high Tc superconductors. It is organized under the following headings: One-band Hubbard model for high Tc superconductors, Other models based on magnetic interactions including multi-band models, Non-magnetic models, Numerical studies, One-dimensional Heisenberg and Hubbard models, Phenomenological theories, Experimental: spectroscopies, transport etc., Experimental superconducting properties
