Publisher Description: One of the greatest revolutions in materials science in recent years has been the literal renaissance of age-old materials in new and unexpected guises and possessing correspondingly astounding properties. There was once a time, for instance, when textbooks declared that only metals could offer any progress in superconduction. Since then, familiar perovskites - and even humble magnesium boride - have been recognised as being so-called 'room-temperature' superconductors. Carbon in particular has benefited from this revolution and has now found application as routinely deposited diamond coatings and as C60 'buckyballs'. |
