This book is a collection of papers in the field of stripes and
high Tc superconductivity. The most relevant theoretical and
experimental contributions from experts in the field of stripes,
presented at the Second International Conference on Stripes and
High Tc Superconductivity, are selected for publication. The book
includes contributions on other stripe phases observed in
manganites, nikelates, spin ladders, and heterostructures. Since a
large stream of research in a growing community is converging
towards the stripe scenario, this book serves as an important
reference in the field of striped phases and high Tc
superconductivity. The problem of high Tc superconductors has been
a central issue in solid-state physics since 1987. After the
discovery of high Tc superconductivity (HTSC) in doped perovskites,
it was realized that HTSC appears in an unknown complex electronic
phase of condensed matter. In the early years, all theories of HTSC
were focused on the physics of a homogeneous 2D metal with large
electron-electron correlations or on a 2D polaron gas.Only after
1990 a novel paradigm started to emerge in which this 2D metallic
phase is described as an inhomogeneous metal. This was the outcome
of several experimental evidences of phase separation at low
doping. Following the discovery by the Rome Group in 1992 that 'the
changes move freely mainly in one direction like the water running
in the grooves in corrugated iron foil', a new scenario for
understanding superconductivity in high Tc superconductors was
opened. Since the charges move like rivers, the physics of these
materials shifts towards the physics of novel mesoscopic
heterostructures and complex electronic solids. Therefore,
understanding the striped phases in the perovskites not only
provides an opportunity to understand the anomalous metallic state
of cuprate superconductors, but also suggests a way to design new
materials of technological importance. The stripes are begetting a
field of general scientific interest.
