Overview

After an introduction by J.G. Bednorz, describing the discovery of high Tc superconductivity and its consequences, this work goes on to describe current research, dealing with general problems, new materials and structures, phase separation, electronic homogeneities and related problems, and applications. Specific systems dealt with include the La-cuprates, the Bi-cuprates and the Y-cuprates and related compounds.
