Phase transition approach to high temperature superconductivity : universal properties of cuprate superconductors /
The discovery of superconductivity at 30 K by Bednorz and Müller in 1986 ignited an explosion of interest in high temperature superconductivity. The initial development rapidly evolved into an intensive worldwide research effort - which still persists after more than a decade - to understand the ph...
