This is an advanced textbook for graduate students and researchers wishing to lea about
high temperature superconductivity in copper oxides, in particular the Kamimura-Suwa (K-S)
model. Because a number of models have been proposed since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity by Bednorz and M?ller in 1986, the book first explains briefly the
historical development that led to the K-S model. It then focuses on the physical background
necessary to understand the K-S model and on the basic principles behind various physical
phenomena such as electronic structures, electrical, thermal and optical properties, and the
mechanism of high temperature superconductivity.
