Title: Chemistry of high-temperature superconductors; Proceedings of the Symposium, New Orleans, LA, Aug. 30-Sept. 4, 1987

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6794296

Topics discussed in this symposium include the theory on high-temperature superconductivity, materials preparation and characterization, structure-property relationships, surfaces and interfaces, processing and fabrication, applications, and research needs and opportunities. Papers are presented on valence bond theory and superconductivity; the synthesis of new classes of high-temperature superconducting materials; the interplay of the synthesis, structure, microstructure, and superconducting properties of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/; superconductivity in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O(x) for x greater than 7.0; and oxide ion vacancies, valence electrons, and superconductivity in mixed-metal oxides. Attention is also given to the comparison of the 1-2-3 phase and the 3-3-6 phase in the La-Ba-Cu-O superconductor series; occupied and unoccupied electronic states, surface stability, and interface formation in high-temperature superconductors; the fabrication of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ superconducting ceramics; applications of high-temperature superconductivity; and research opportunities and new directions in high-temperature superconducting materials.
