The history of hiTC superconductors is a few months short of being 14 years old when Bednorz and Müller published their results which showed that (La, BA)2CuO4 had a superconducting transition of 30 K, which was about 7K higher than any other known superconducting material. Within a year the upper temperature limit was raised to nearly 100K with the discovery of an 90K superconducting transition in YBa2Cu3O7-\u0026amp;dgr;. The announcement of a superconductor with a transition temperature higher than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen set-off a frenzy of research on trying to find other oxide hiTC superconductors. Within a few months the maximum superconducting transition reached 110 K (Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3010, and then 122K (TlBa2Ca3Cu4O11. It took several years to push TC up another 11 K to 133 K with the discovery of superconductivity in HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8, which is still the record holder today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North-Holland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614415437975,"sku":"9780444505286","price":32862.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780444505286.webp?v=1775093464","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-on-the-physics-and-chemistry-of-rare-earths-high-temperature-rare-earths-superconductors-i-volume-30-9780444505286","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
