The discovery of superconductvity at 30K by Bednorz and Muller in 1986 ignited an explosion of interest in high temperature superconductivity. The initial development rapidly evolved into an intense worldwide research effort that still persists after more than a decade to understand the phenomenon of cuprate superconductivity, to search for ways to raise the transition temperature and to produce materials which have the potential for technological applications. During the past decade of research on this subject significant prograss has been ..
