High-temperature superconductors (abbreviated high Tc) are a family of superconducting materials containing copper-oxide planes as a common structural feature. For this reason, the term is often used interchangeably with cuprate superconductors.
This feature allows some materials to support superconductivity at temperatures above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77 K or -196°C). Indeed, they offer the highest transition temperatures of all superconductors. The ability to use relatively inexpensive and easily handled liquid nitrogen as a coolant has increased the range of practical applications of superconductivity.
Although cuprate compounds in the normal superconducting state share many characteristics with each other, there is as of 2007 no widely accepted theory to explain their properties. The search for a unified theory of high-temperature superconductivity is a topic of active experimental and theoretical research. Cuprate superconductors differ in many important ways from conventional superconductors, such as elemental mercury or lead, which are adequately explained by the BCS theory.
High-Tc superconductivity was discovered in 1986; until then it was thought that BCS theory ruled out superconductivity at temperatures above 30 K. The experimental discovery of the first high-Tc superconductor by Karl Müller and Johannes Bednorz was immediately recognized by the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1987.
[edit] Copper-oxide planes
The cuprates are quasi-two-dimensional materials which consist of layers of copper-oxide planes separated by other materials. It seems that most of the properties are determined by electrons moving within the copper-oxide planes. The remaining components play structural roles and provide screening and doping environments. The copper-oxide plane is a checkerboard lattice with square backbone lattice of oxygens in the O-- state and with, say, "black" squares marked by copper atom in the center; Copper is typically in Cu++ state. The unit cell is, e.g., a square rotated by 45° containing exactly one "black square". The unit cell contains one copper and two oxygen atoms. Obviously, the unit cell is charged by an equivalent of two electronic charges. These charges are "supplied" by the La, Ba, Sr or other atoms which in cuprate superconductors are always present between the planes. It may be considered as an experimental fact that the chemical potential crosses one of the electronic bands of the copper-oxide plane and nothing else: it is the copper-oxide plane that determines the Fermi surface and low-energy electronic properties. As such, in the ionization state Cu++O2--, the copper-oxide plane is a Mott insulator with long-range antiferromagnetic order of spins at small enough temperatures. A vital feature of cuprates is their ability to accommodate chemical substitutions, i.e., atoms that (i) replace one of the atoms of the original without disrupting the short-range lattice order and (ii) have a different number of electrons in their outer shells. The excess electrons may enter the copper oxide plane (electron doping) or electrons can be taken away from the copper-oxide plane (hole doping), as a result of such chemical substitution. It is important that chemical substitutions occur in the substance outside the copper-oxide plane. In other words, a unique property of copper-oxide planes and their "environment" atoms in the copper-oxide superconductors is that such doping is possible at all and charge redistribution is effectively screened and is stable. (Materials that allow doping are not very common, but cuprate superconductors are by no means the only ones). Structural formulas of interesting cuprate superconductors typically contain fractional numbers since they are constitute doping modifications of the particular "mother" compound. Concentration of excess electrons or holes (in short, doping) is one of the most important parameters that determine the low-energy properties of the cuprate compounds.
[edit] Weak distortions
Copper-oxide planes in real material are distorted in several ways. This distortions are usually weak but they can play an important role because they break the symmetries of the original (square, plane) lattice.
- buckling
- orthorhombic distortion
- pairs of planes
[edit] General phase diagram
Typically the half-filling state is an insulator with antiferromagnetic ordering and it is not superconducting at any temperature. The "interesting" phases are in the metallic state which is achieved at finite electron/hole doping of copper-oxide planes. The common way of doping is by chemical substitution; other methods, such as pressure may also be used. The "geography" of the copper-oxide materials can in the doping-temperature diagram.
[edit] History and Progress
The term high-temperature superconductor was first used to designate the new family of cuprate-perovskite ceramic materials discovered by Johannes Georg Bednorz and Karl Alexander Müller in 1986,[1] for which they won the Nobel Prize in Physics the following year. Their discovery of the first high-temperature superconductor, LaBaCuO, with a transition temperature of 35 K, generated great excitement.
Recently, other unconventional superconductors, not based on cuprate structure, have been discovered. Some have unusually high values of the critical temperature, Tc, and hence they are sometimes also called high-temperature superconductors. The record-high Tc at standard pressure, 138 K, is held by a cuprate-perovskite material,[2] although slightly higher transition temperatures have been achieved under pressure.[3] Nevertheless, some researchers believe that if a room-temperature superconductor is ever discovered, it will be in a different family of materials.[citation needed]
[edit] Types of High-Temperature Superconductors
Examples of high-Tc cuprate superconductors include La1.85Ba0.15CuO4, and YBCO (Yttrium-Barium-Copper-Oxide), which is famous as the first material to achieve superconductivity above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen.
All known high-Tc superconductors are Type-II superconductors. In contrast to Type-I superconductors, which expel all magnetic fields due to the Meissner Effect, Type-II superconductors allow magnetic fields to penetrate their interior in quantized units of flux, creating "holes" or "tubes" of normal metallic regions in the superconducting bulk. Consequently, high-Tc superconductors can sustain much higher magnetic fields.
[edit] How High-Temperature Superconductors are Made
Perovskites are made by mixing oxides in stoichiometric quantities and then heating in a kiln at high temperatures in a concentrated oxygen atmosphere.

The question of how superconductivity arises in high-temperature superconductors is one of the major unsolved problems of theoretical condensed matter physics as of 2007. The mechanism that causes the electrons in these crystals to form pairs is not known.
Despite intensive research and many promising leads, an explanation has so far eluded scientists. One reason for this is that the materials in question are generally very complex, multi-layered crystals (for example, BSCCO), making theoretical modeling difficult. However, with the rapid rate of new discoveries in the field, many researchers are optimistic that a complete understanding of the process is possible within the next decade or so.[citation needed]
