Abstract

Experimental work on systems showing evidence of the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic order is reviewed. The presently known systems are shown to be “superconducting spin glasses” rather than “ferromagnetic superconductors”. In those systems where the magnetic order is expected to be long-ranged (up to now) superconductivity vanishes as soon as the magnetic order appears. But it is not excluded that magnetic order with a correlation length larger than the superconductive coherence length can coexist with superconductivity.
