What High Pressure Studies Have Taught Us about High-Temperature Superconductivity
Abstract
Superconductivity is an important area of modern research which has benefited enormously from experiments under high pressure conditions. The focus of this paper will be on three classes of high-temperature superconductors: (1) the new binary compound MgB2, (2) the alkali-doped fullerenes, and (3) the cuprate oxides. We will discuss results from experiment and theory which illustrate the kinds of vital information the high-pressure variable can give to help better understand these fascinating materials.
