MRS Extended Abstracts High Temperature Superconductors Gubser Schluter 1987

This is the Extended Abstracts volume on High Temperature Superconductors, published by the Materials Research Society (MRS) in 1987. It presents extended abstracts from Symposium S of the 1987 MRS Spring Meeting, held April 23–24 in Anaheim, California. The volume was edited by D.U. Gubser of the Naval Research Laboratory and M. Schluter of AT&T Bell Laboratories, two prominent researchers active at the forefront of the high-temperature superconductivity field during its pivotal 1987 breakthrough period.

Applications

High-temperature superconductivity became one of the most significant topics in condensed matter physics after the 1986–1987 discoveries of ceramic oxide superconductors with transition temperatures well above liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K). This MRS extended abstracts volume captures the scientific community's early response to those discoveries, making it a primary-source document from the field's defining moment. It is relevant to researchers, historians of science, and materials scientists studying the development of HTS materials such as YBCO and BSCCO, as well as to university libraries and private collectors of scientific literature. The 1987 MRS Spring Meeting was one of the first major conferences to address HTS in depth, and proceedings from it remain cited reference materials in superconductivity research. This volume is of particular interest to anyone studying the early experimental and theoretical work on copper-oxide superconductors and the rapid international research activity of that era.
