Description
The recent discovery of "high-temperature" superconductors has brought the attention of the scientific community to the field of transition metal oxides. In fact, these compounds are important in many other ways and their diverse properties pose many difficulties of interpretation. This work is intended to provide an introduction to this general field, at a level suitable for research workers with a background in solid-state chemistry or physics.
