    Superconductivity near 30 K without copper: the Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 perovskite

    It is well known that the breakthrough of Bednorz and Müller1 in discovering superconductivity in (La, Ba)2CuO4 was inspired in part by their knowledge of the superconducting properties of Ba(Pb, Bi)O3 (ref. 2). ...

    Superconductivity near 70 K in a new family of layered copper oxides

    A new family of high-temperature superconductors is described, with the general formula Pb2Sr2ACu3O8+δ. Although they have the planes of CuO5 square pyramids characteristic of the other copper-oxide superconducto...

    Superconductivity at 3.5 K in BaPb0.75Sb0.25O3: why is Tc so low?

    SUPERCONDUCTING BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3, with a transition temperature (Tc ) of 12 K (ref. 1), is now widely viewed as the precursor to the recent appearance of copper oxide superconductors with record high Tc S. The ob...

    Superconductivity at 60 K in La2-xSrxCaCu2O6: the simplest double-layer cuprate

    STARTING with the pioneering work of Bednorz and Müller1, many copper-oxide-based superconductors with high transition temperatures (Tc) have been discovered. All contain layers of copper-oxygen squares, pyramids...

    Superconductivity at 23 K in yttrium palladium boride carbide

    COPPER oxide compounds have dominated superconductivity research since 1986 because of their very high transition temperatures (Tcs). In contrast, no new families of high-Tc intermetallic compounds have been disc...
