Conclusions
Our current understanding of these interesting, and likely useful, superconducting materials has grown rapidly during the past four-plus years. Much of the progress has been through the use of single-crystalline samples. It is clear to me that continued enhancement of our knowledge will come with better samples and extensions of the work into other, less studied Systems. Certainly, researchers in the field have not shown any desire to slow down their activities as many new measurements are being proposed.
