The phenomenon of superconductivity - after its discovery in metals
such as mercury, lead, zinc, etc. by Kamerlingh-Onnes in 19]] - has
attracted many scientists. Superconductivity was described in a
very satisfactory manner by the model proposed by Bardeen, Cooper
and Schrieffer, and by the extensions proposed by Abrikosov, Gorkov
and Eliashberg. Relations were established between
superconductivity and the fundamental properties of solids,
resulting in a possible upper limit of the critical temperature at
about 23 K. The breakthrough that revolutionized the field was made
in 1986 by Bednorz and Muller with the discovery of
high-temperature superconductivity in layered copper-oxide
perovskites. Today the record in transition temperature is 133 K
for a Hg based cuprate system. The last decade has not only seen a
revolution in the size of the critical temperature, but also in the
myriads of research groups that entered the field. In addition,
high-temperature superconductivity became a real interdisciplinary
topic and brought together physicists, chemists and materials
scientists who started to investigate the new compounds with almost
all the available experimental techniques and theoretical methods.
As a consequence we have witnessed an avalanche of publications
which has never occurred in any field of science so far and which
makes it difficult for the individual to be thoroughly informed
about the relevant results and trends. Neutron scattering has
outstanding properties in the elucidation of the basic properties
of high-temperature superconductors.
