Description
This volume of the Handbook is the first of a two-volume set of reviews devoted to the rare-earth-based high-temperature oxide superconductors
(commonly known as hiTC superconductors). The history of hiTC superconductors is a few months short of being 14
years old when Bednorz and Müller published their results which showed that (La,BA)2CuO4 had a superconducting
transition of ~30 K, which was about 7K higher than any other known superconducting material. Within a year the upper temperature limit
was raised to nearly 100K with the discovery of an ~90K superconducting transition in YBa2Cu3O7

The announcement of a superconductor with a transition temperature higher than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen set-off a frenzy
of research on trying to find other oxide hiTC superconductors. Within a few months the maximum superconducting transition
reached 110 K (Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3010, and then 122K (TlBa2Ca3Cu4O11.
It took several years to push TC up another 11 K to 133 K with the discovery of superconductivity in HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8,
which is still the record holder today.
