Teller, Edward - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 114 (1982) 1, pp. 14-18
The interactions between Teller, Renner, Jahn and Landau which led to the formulation of the Jahn-Teller effect are discussed. The applicability of Jahn-Teller-type theory to superconductivity and the explanation proposed by the use of Goldstone particles are assessed.
