From SrTiO₃ to Cuprates and Back to SrTiO₃: A Way Along Alex Müller’s Scientific Career

Abstract

K.A. Müller took a long route in science leaving many traces and imprints, which have been and are still today initiations for further research activities. We “walk” along this outstanding path but are certainly not able to provide a complete picture of it, since the way was not always straight, often marked by unintended detours, which had novel impact on the international research society.
