Future Trends in High Pressure — High Temperature Synthesis of Superconducting Materials

  • Chapter
High-Pressure Science and Technology

  • 27 Accesses

Abstract

Over the past ten years, more than 150 studies have been published in the field of high pressure synthesis spanning an even wider range of materials. In this paper we have chosen to restrict our discussion to those high pressure-high temperature (HP-HT) synthesis efforts which are specifically addressed to superconducting materials. In an effort to suggest future trends, we have reviewed published work in this area over the past decade. Recent efforts to synthesize new superconductors at NRL are also summarized. Some of the shortcomings of current synthesis efforts are delineated, followed by suggestions to improve future work in this field.
