EPR, Magnetization, and Resistivity Studies in DOPED (4f, 3d Ions) and Undoped R (or Y) Ba2Cu3O9−x High Tc Superconductors

  • Chapter
Novel Superconductivity

Abstract

After years of searching for superconductors with higher transition temperatures, an incredible success has been achieved in recent months, as a consequence of the discovery of Bednorz and Muller of a 30 K transition in La2-yBayCuO4-x,1 followed by the subsequent findings that YBa2Cu2O9-x has a Tc well above liquid nitrogen temperatures.2,3 These discoveries have resulted in an explosive growth of interest in the field, with the present challenge being to explain the pertinent superconducting mechanisms.
