Authored by many of the world's leading experts on high-T_c superconductivity, this volume presents a panorama of ongoing research in the field, as well as insights into related multifunctional materials. The contributions cover many different and complementary aspects of the physics and materials challenges, with an emphasis on superconducting materials that have emerged since the discovery of the cuprate superconductors, for example pnictides, MgB₂, H₂S and other hydrides. Special attention is also paid to interface superconductivity. In addition to...
