They provide a deep insight into the physical properties of the condensed matters and also have useful applications as ultra-low-power-dissipation systems that can help resolve the present energy problems. In particular, the recent advancement of carbon-based new superconductors (CNSCs) is significant. Before 2004, the superconducting transition temperature (\u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec) of carbon-based SCs was below 1 K, except in fullerene clusters. However, in 2004, a Russian group discovered that diamond highly doped with boron could be an SC at \u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec = 4 K. The following year, a group from Cambridge found that calcium-intercalated graphite could be an SC with \u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec = 11.5 K. In 2006 and 2008, the editor’s group from Japan also discovered that carbon nanotubes could be SCs at \u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec = 12 K. Since then, research on CNSCs has increased notably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small mass of carbon can produce high phonon frequency and high Debye temperature. Combining these with other specified properties of CNSCs (such as one-dimensional electronic states) is highly expected to open doors to high-\u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec superconductivity like those of CuO2- and Fe-based SCs, which were the only SCs to show \u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec \u0026gt; 40 K in the past. CNSCs, such as diamond, graphite, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and others, are a very attractive field of research, and this book is the first to describe their basic physics and the recent advances toward high \u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003ec in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45576054964462,"sku":"9789814303309","price":193.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/carbon-based-superconductors-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
