The unexpected and therefore really amazing discovery of J.G.
Bednorz and K.A. MA1/4ller, that certain oxide compounds enter a
superconductivity state at temperatures above 30 K, pushed research
on superconductivity into the limelight of science in general in a
way that seemed reserved only for high energy or particle physics.
It may therefore be expected that this entire review would solely
deal with superconductivity at high temperatures, i.e. above the
boiling point of hydrogen. Any unexpected occurrence of
superconductivity is, however, a challenge to scientists interested
either in the physics of this phenomenon or in its materials
science aspects. In this respect, the eighties have been quite
revolutionary in the sense that, on various occasions,
superconductivity was discovered in materials whose physical
properties were not obviously favourable for adopting this ground
state. Therefore, apart from emphasizing the topic of oxide
superconductors, this collection of reprints also contains a
selection of papers that deal with other subjects, such as
coexistence of magnetic order and superconductivity, heavy electron
and organic superconductors. This is all the more justified when we
consider the fact that various aspects of superconductivity in high
Tc oxide compounds are, or might be, connected with features that
are also observed in these other materials. For nonspecialists who
might be interested in this collection of reprints the Editor
briefly reviews the possibilities for identifying superconductivity
and discusses some special features of the superconducting state.
