Extract

Superconductivity near 30 K in the La-Ba-Cu-O system, first observed by Bednorz and Müller [1], was soon found to be attributable to the K2NiF4-type (at room temperature) compound La(2-x)BxxCuO4 [2]. Substitution of Sr and Ca for Ba yielded superconducting systems, also with high superconducting transition temperature Tc. Replacement of La by Y led to the discovery of the 90 K superconductors.
