This volume contains two chapters of direct interest for applications: The magnetic vortex states and transformations and the effects of c-axis coupling on the

The discovery by J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Mtllier in 1986 that the superconducting state can exist in oxides at temperatures above 30 K stimulated research in th

While a great effort has been made to discover new high temperature superconductors, a large-scale, parallel effort has been made to determine the fundamental p
