What others say about our research...

• "... A general approach to the tight-binding model for the electron spectrum is described in many works. For our purpose we will use a very clear description in Ref. [7] (it contains also the list of references to other works)."
  -- A. A. Abrikosov, Physica C 391,147-159 (2003)
• "... field dependent fluctuation susceptibility, was the subject of the intensive debates in early seventies [ 30--39 ] (see also the old but excellent review of W.J. Skocpol and M. Tinkham [ 40 ]) and after the discovery of HTS [ 41--44 ] ( see also very recent detailed essay of T.Mishonov and E.Penev [ 45 ] with references there)."
