This report describes progress during the previous 2 1/2 years of DOE funding; description of the research to be conducted during the remaining months of the present grant; a description of the status of the graduate students working on this research; lists of the invited talks, seminars and colloquia, of other recognition of our research, and of the publications crediting DOE sponsorship; and a summary of current and pending federal support. Work proposed to be conducted during the next three years is described in detail in a separate proposal submitted to the DOE. Because of the specific capabilities given by significant enhancements to our thin film preparation and analysis facilities (e.g., two heavily instrumented Molecular Beam Epitaxy machines), our research efforts have increasingly been directed toward studies of magnetism at surfaces and interfaces. Thus, the proposal submitted to DOE for the next three years involves studies of such magnetic thin films and superlattices. This DOE grant is for research on Artificially Structured Superconductors. When my original proposal was written in mid-1986 this meant low {Tc} metallic superlattices. However, after announcement of the new high {Tc} compounds in late-1986, and after consultation with my former DOE contract monitor in January 1987 we began work on the new high {Tc} superconductors.
