Cooperative Phenomena in Jahn--Teller Crystals

the long version

This volume is the <em>first</em> detailed and comprehensive account of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect-focusing on the qualitative side of the phenomena. In addition to covering all aspects of this phenomena, this well-illustrated volume features a discussion on the recent breakthroughs on how the properties of high-temperature superconductors may influence the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect. Researchers and students working in chemistry will find this volume to be an invaluable addition to their reference collection.
