Synopsis

"This collection of reprints allows the reader to chart the course of Müller's scientific development, from his early papers in the late 1950s all the way to high-temperature superconductivity in 1985 ... A particular highlight is Müller's work on the Jahn-Teller effect ... written in 1967 and appearing only as an article in a conference proceedings is a gem. Other treasures include the reviews on structural phase transitions (from 1981 and 1991, respectively) that are otherwise only obtainable in specialist books."Contemporary PhysicsIn this book some 50 papers published by K A Müller as author or co-author over several decades, amplified by more recent work mainly by T W Kool with collaborators, are reproduced. The main subject is Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) applied to the study of perovskites and other oxides with related subjects. This wealth of papers is organized into eleven chapters, each with an introductory text written in the light of current understanding. The contributions of the first editor on structural phase transitions have been immense, and because K A Müller and J C Fayet have published a review paper on the subject, the latter is reproduced in chapter VII. Not related to EPR is a part of chapter VIII on the dipolar and quantum paraelectric behavior with dielectric studies. In chapter X two papers proving the existence of Fermi glasses are reproduced.The year 1986 bears some significance: early in this year the paper by Bednorz and Müller on the possible observation of superconductivity was published. This resulted in a substantial shift in the paradigm of condensed matter physics, to which the present first editor has contributed scientifically with others and which will be reviewed in a second volume.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this book some 50 papers published by K A Muller as author or co-author over a period from 1959 till 2009, amplified by more recent work mainly by T W Kool with collaborators are reproduced. The main subject is Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) applied to the study of perovskites and other oxides with related subjects. This wealth of papers is organized into eleven chapters, each with an introductory text written in the light of current understanding. The contributions of the first author on structural phase transitions have been immense, and because K A Muller and J C Fayet have published a review paper on the subject, the latter is reproduced in chapter VII. Exceptions is here I have omitted the half sentence on chapter VI, it is EPR related whole chapter VIII on dipolar and quantum paraelectric behavior with dielectric studies. Further in chapter X two papers proving the existence of Fermi-Glasses are reproduced. The year 1986 bears some significance: early in this year the paper by Bednorz and Muller on the possible observation of superconductivity was published. This resulted in a substantial shift in the paradigm of condensed matter physics to which the present first author has scientifically with those that of others in a second volume.

Revue de presse

It is a pleasure to read such a systematic and historical overview, unifying various features of this area of research, all put into relation to each other by very helpful introductory comments by the authors. --Ortwin Schirmer, Professor of Experimental Physics, University of Osnabrueck
